While there is often no one major (no "pre-law" if you will) at universities, subjects that require a high level of critical reasoning and textual analysis are often helpful as preparation for law school and the eventual career of being a lawyer. Subjects can include history, philosophy, comparative literature and many others.

However, in order to legally practice law (i.e. "be a lawyer"), one must have successfully completed courses in legal studies, usually at a law school. One must also sit for and pass the yearly bar examination offered by the state in which one wishes to practice. Other stipulations and requirements may exist for other types of law or practicing overseas.
