To my knowledge there are no required courses needed in high school to become a lawyer. However, any courses which hone the use of logic and analysis would certainly be helpful in that field. It is known that many math majors do extremely well in law school. Also, courses in psychology, and the social sciences are beneficial, because they help an individual understand the psyche and general milieu of the individual and the human condition. Courses in English help in providing the tools of communication and expression which a lawyer needs in addressing juries and speaking to other legal professionals. Can you imagine how ineffectual a lawyer would be if they couldn't communicate clearly and articulately?

You should definitely do great in your history classes, that's what law is all about, focusing on the History and the Orgins of Law. Also, start looking into law programs of different universities and make a list of places you want to go....

No: but, depending on what area of law you plan to specialize in, you might consider drama, accounting, or Latin (if you have the option). Take geometry: it's good for logic.

To get into law school, all you need is a bachelors degree (almost any major) and a good LSAT score.

I would say it'd be good to take business classes if your high school offers them.

No, but it wouldn't hurt if you started practicing your lying and deceit now.
