know your history, and learn to write well. you don't really need to worry about that much in high school. in college, you might have the option of becoming pre-law, in which case you'll have to take a whole bunch of courses.
in high school, take things that interest you, and if they happen to be related to law, so be it. something with government, other histories, and i cannot stress enough the importance of being able to write clearly and fluently.

American government, political science, take as many social sciences classes as you can. There's even a Law and Society class at my school. Joining mock trial or model united nations is a good way to learn about research and debate too.

Take History, Poli Sci, but also as many math classes as you can as they will teach you how to think logically and precedurally and will be very valuable down the road when you become a lawyer.

Various types of history classes (us history, political science, civics, economics) and things of that sort. my old highschool had a Law & Gov't Academy, so I was able to use that to understand the different types of professions in that field.
