Political science is most common. This means government classes, they will be specified after you start taking classes at your school. I currently go to Raymond Walters in Blue Ash, OH and it is a two year program to get you started for The University of Cincinnati, my degree at this school is 'pre-law' so after my two years here i will transfer to the main campus UC and finish with my Bachelors degree. THEN you go to through that schools law school. or whichever law school you desire. BUT it is not limited to political science. My advice is to contact a school you are looking at or go to a school counselor to see other things you can major in. You must maintain a 3.5 or higher and it looks good to be involved in outside government activities also volunteering somewhere looks good too. Hope this helps.
A law school applicant in the US must have a baccalaureate degree from an accredited college. It does not matter what field of study the applicant pursued as an undergraduate. The applicant's GPA can be a strong consideration, so as an undergraduate, she should take a course of study that naturally interests her and at which she can excel. It is helpful, but not necessary, for an undergraduate student to take a few courses related to business and economics, and to take courses to improve her writing skills. Political science courses are not normally helpful to the study of law.
Law school can be challenging, but the professors will teach law students everything they need to know, no matter what a student might have majored in. An applicant needs to have to ability to learn quickly, and the time ands willingness to put in long hours of study. Prior undergraduate exposure to business and economics may help the student more readily understand thornier subjects such as antitrust law, but it is not necessary for admission to law school.
Within the United States, there is no such thing as a major in law at the undergraduate level. Many institutions promote the fact that they offer pre-law, but again that is not a major. It is a curriculum layout or sometimes referred to as a track, that ensures individuals seeking to pursue law school, complete the appropriate prerequisite coursework required by law schools. Therefore, those seeking a law degree (Juris Doctor, JD) come from a variety of educational backgrounds. You need to choose the major that best fits your personal needs, wants, and desires. For example, if you plan on practicing corporate law, then maybe a bachelor's degree in business might be of interest to you. If you plan on practicing criminal law, then criminal justice might be the appropriate option. The career adviser at the college you attend will be able to give you the appropriate direction.
Those who pursue law school come from a variety of educational backgrounds. You will most always hear them say they are in pre-law. Still, there is no such thing as a degree in pre-law. It is a curriculum tract to ensure the student is taking the appropriate prerequisites required by law schools. Thus, their actual major can be in most any area. Those who pursue a law degree typically complete a four year bachelor's degree and three years of law school for a total of seven years post high school completion. In addition, the individual must pass the written bar exam.
You can major in anything in undergrad before going to law school.

A specific major is not required to become an attorney. You do need a law degree in most places.
