It does not really matter what the focus is. A proven track record of good grades is more important.
A student should try to prepare for law school as much as possible during the undergraduate years. One way to prepare for law school is by majoring in Law & Legal Studies. This major can expose a student to important legal concepts that he or she will likely learn in law school. A student can get an edge this way.
Don't take classes in high school to prepare yourself for law school, except perhaps a government class if it is not required curriculum. Take classes about subjects that you are interested in. You'll learn plenty about the law in law school. ========================= I concur. The same goes for your university studies. Law schools aren't interested in what subjects you studied. They are interested in what your grades are.
Any accredited law school should prepare its students for practicing many kinds of law.
It really doesn't matter. Law schools like a variety of students and different degrees help with diversity.
Harvard Law School boasts the most Supreme Court justices among its alumni, at 15; Yale is second with 9 justices. Princeton has sent the most undergraduates to law school at 11.
There are no high school courses that will prepare you for law school. You must first get a bachelors degree, take the law school admissions test (LSAT) and then you can apply to law school. Just make sure you get good grades in college and a high score on the LSAT. Then you shouldn't have a problem.
You can find a list of law school application deadlines on the websites of individual law schools or on centralized application services like LSAC (Law School Admission Council) for applicants in the United States or the Ontario Law School Application Service (OLSAS) for Canadian applicants. It's important to check specific deadlines for each school you are interested in applying to.

You do not need any specific major to apply for law school. Some colleges offer an Pre-Law undergraduate program to prepare students for law school; however, this is not necessary. There is a test called the LSAT (similar to the SAT, except that it is for law school admission rather than college admission) which tests your reasoning and logic abilities, etc., which should be taken before applying to law school. In order to be accepted to law school, you should score well on this test and show, by whatever major you choose, that you have high academic standards and a committment to work hard and succeed, but there is no particular major needed to apply for law school.

You can't go to law school right after high school; one of the minimum requirements for entrance to law school is an undergraduate college degree, preferably with a very high GPA.
