To practice Law you need post graduate degree. To go to Law School you will have to get a BA degree. You will need to have at least one or two semesters of math and science to get a BA regardless of what your major area of study is.

I'm about to graduate from paralegal school and I can tell you we have no classes that have dealth with math or science. You do need good reasoning skills, though. I have a degree in English and it's served me well while in paralegal school. I have a few friends who are lawyers and they all have undergraduate degrees in either English or History. You'll need the ability to do good research and write good papers far more than you will need math or science.

mathematics is the highest level of thought...essentially logic...so a strong understanding of mathematics can only help you, not hinder. dont be lazy as most people are and take a lot of math courses...also, science i am sure is very helpful if you want to understand what CSI does, to make your own conclusion, etc. But i am not a law student so heed the advice with caution.

I am not a lawyer, but I would hope that the skills learned in math classes where you had to do some proofs would be required in law school.
Math class should have developed your logic/reasoning skills.

No, you really don't. Of course it's good if you can add and multiply, but more usually is not asked in law.
Some basic science knowledge is sensible to easier understand some cases.

You will need some just to graduate from college. You have to have a bachelor's degree from college to apply to go to law school. Law school is a post-graduate degree.

no, make sure you have a grade 12 math and science though, it will look better when they look at who they're going to accept
