A Double Major in Political Science and History should do the trick easy. Thats the standard. However, you can get into law school with just about any major, if your GPA is above average.
Even choosing a bachelor degree with a similar focus of law you want to study would be great. Example. I am taking a bachelor of International Development and Globalization with the hopes of studying International and Diplomatic law in law school. It is not so important that you have a specific bachelor's degree, but rather that you have high marks and extensive participation in extra curricular activities.
Cheers!

I worked as a secretary at a law firm and some had degrees in liberal arts which makes sense because law requires a knowledge of a wide range of subjects. It also requires that you write, spell and speak well. "Bachelor" not "bachellor" is the correct spelling.

I think it depends, too, on what you think you may want to specialize in. For example, if you would like to be a real estate attorney, perhaps you should focus on a Real Estate related bachelors degree. If you want to focus on medical malpractice, take some medical related courses.
I also agree with some of the other posters about business, debate and speech related items.
One possibility for you, some schools offer what they call a degree in Liberal Studies, you take some core courses, but then are largely self directed with the rest. As long as the courses you take fulfill a requirement of skill level (300 and 400 level courses) you can take whatever you think will help you in the future.
Chances are, any bachelors will help you with your law degree, but if you have an idea of specialty, it can't help to focus now on what you would like to study!
Good luck!

I would look for a major that features courses in Speech, Debate, writing etc. Those are all skills you will need in law school.

It doesn't matter, law school is unlike any other type of study.

You can do most anything, there is nothing that is awful.
But I would think something in Public Policy might be good.
