There are no "law" classes you have to take at uni. I took "logic" cuz I heard it was helpful as well. I can honestly say it didn't help, altho the theory behind that "suggestion" is sound.
Just take whatever courses you'll get the best grades in. In the end, that's what law schools will look at most. Your grades and your LSAT score. Extra currics only come into play if you're applying to the top schools where everyone has high grades and LSAT scores.
There are all kinds of lawyers out there. It generally breaks down into those that litigate (sue or go into the courtroom) and transactional (the paper pushers, such as drafting contracts or other agreements, etc).

There are not any particular courses that you MUST take in college before going to law school. However, there are some courses that you might find helpful.
For example, some people find LOGIC classes helpful for taking the LSAT. However, I didn't find this class terribly helpful. Some people think that undergrad classes in Constitutional law are helpful. However, I never took these classes, and the exams may be structured differently than in law school. However, if you just want to be introduced to this subject matter, this might be a good class to take.
As far as types of law, there are various types of law, and I won't be able to list them all here. But here are a few: criminal law, tax law, family law, corporate law, bankruptcy law, intellectual property law, transactions, mergers and acquisitions, entertainment law, real estate law, and much more. I hope this helps! Good luck and best wishes!

The most important thing is to have a strong liberal arts foundation (learn how to think, write, speak and engage in critical analysis). You will want to do well in school and on the LSAT. You will also want to have some practical experience in your background related to law or service. The types of law are varied from business, to international, to public service, to criminal, etc. etc. The type of law you choose should relate to your interests and what you want to do in the world (and/or how much money you want to make). There is a type of law related to EVERY part of social life.
