Begin to take mathematicss seriously because the LSAT is full of mathematic/logic problems. In college go for philosophy/history/political science and join a pre-law club. Take care of your finances because law is more lucrative if you work for yourself, as any field is, but I've met some lawyers that hated it because they had to slave at a firm.

In highschool, take Civics. Also take any class that can help you with analysis and reading. Are there any lit classes that are beyond the basic ones?
In college, it isn't hard to find classes that focus on law. They will be under Law and Justice.

English composition, as much as possible. In college take speech communication as your major. You will learn about Corax and Tisias, they wrote the first textbook for lawyers to settle boundary disputes. You will also study the ideas of Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, Augustine, and other great thinkers.

Hun, just go down to the college of your choice, and or look up on Yahoo's Yellow pages, for the Administrative Advisor's offices..... And tell them of your plans, and ask what classes would be best for you to start off with..... Its alot of schooling, hun I hope you do realize that... My uncle was schooling to become a lawyer, but he couldn't pass the "Bar", so he ended up dropping out..... Which really disappointed my Grandpa, especially all the money he spent on his education, and all...... But, my grandpa, was wanting him to be, what he wanted to be, not allowing him to decide on his own, you know...... Being that this is something you want and its not your "Parents" wishes, is a good thing.. and hopefully you'll be good at all of your classes, in doing so...... Good Luck to you!!! Smile!!!!
