Yes ... and maybe
Yes, you should take some courses related to law, so that you can decide if that's really what you want.
Maybe, but not necessarily, if you're just trying to impress the law school admissions offices. It wouldn't hurt, but law schools value diversity of all kinds, including majors. Thay have lots of pre-law majors, but they also want engineers, foreign language majors, and everything else. You might actually help your admission chances by taking a variety of very atypical classes,
Take a lesson from the late theoretical physicist Richard Feynman. He wrote about how he had a different type of mathematical training than many of his colleagues. He said it was often helpful when he was working on unusual problems, because it gave him a different assortment of tools in his "toolbox."

Check you local laws
But as a rule any 4 year degree qualifies you to enter law school.
In California a high school diploma is all you need if you are over 25 years old, however most Laws Schools will not admit you, they have the right to set a BA degree is their own requirment.
You may also have to take the LSAT
A business degree is quite good for law, especially if you think you mgith get into corporate law.

i imagine you want to make sure out what you want to do first and by no skill waste a lot time in college getting knowledgeable. As an legal professional and CPA, between the suitable undergrad majors you may have is accounting. Sounds extraordinary, yet is somewhat real. regulation is about the smart software and interaction of guidelines. it somewhat is precisely what accounting teaches undergrads. My graduating class in regulation college changed into good heavy with company majors (accounting). except that, regulation colleges supply no incremental credence to undergrads majoring in legal analyze. And in case you get your undergrad degree in company from a first rate college, you received't choose an MBA consisting of your regulation degree. I considered going again and getting an MBA, in spite of the indisputable fact that it would not upload something to my ability set, yet would placed a dent in my income for 2-3 years at the same time as i finished it. Plus, maximum MBAs received't take someone perfect out of school - they prefer those with experience and some genuine paintings historic previous to operate value to the discussions. sturdy success.

It doesn't matter.
Law schools will take people from any major. Business is a good one to have.

Depends on which field you plan to go into afterwards. Do you want to do Criminal Law (lawyer), Criminal Investigor (detective), Criminal Investigation (Forensics...), criminal Justice (forensics, judge, jury selection.) I think I would take a course before going to law school.
