Generally, the high school classes that will help prepare you for law school are those that will also help you prepare for college. In the United States, an undergraduate degree is required for admission to law school. Upon graduation form college and taking the Law School Admissions Test (also called the "LSAT"), students may be accepted into law school.

That said, there are certain skills required of law school that one can certainly begin to develop or improve while in high school. First and foremost, reading and reading comprehension skills are critical skills for law students. As a result, taking classes involving literature will likely help in law school. Further, prelaw students can develop their reading skills be reading literature of increasing density and difficulty, as well as by reading a variety of writing, including op-ed pieces in newspapers, classical literature and perhaps even legislative works.

In addition to reading comprehension, law school bound students should work toward increasing their logical and analytical reasoning skills. There are a variety of ways to do this, including taking classes in formal Logic, but also more simply, engaging in activities such as crossword puzzles and logic games.

Finally, high school students aiming ultimately for law school should do all possible to achieve good grades and good study skills. Not only will these enable students to gain admission to college, they will also help students immensely when they do enter law school.

As far as the best undergraduate majors for law school, there are a variety of answers to that question. Although many prelaw college students study liberal arts, such as Political Science or Philosophy, there are a variety of other educational platforms from which to launch a legal education, including business, engineering and other majors.

High School Classes are irrelevant for acceptance into law school; however, you will best serve yourself by planning ahead and taking classes that will assist you in planning for a major in College. Practically all ABA accredited law schools require a Bachelors Degree from an accredited university for admission. There is no requirement on the major you choose, while in your undergraduate program.
