Like most knowledge-worker professions, the law requires you to take in data, organize and analyze it, and form arguments or conclusions based on the analysis. Take classes that give you practice in this kind of work. Philosophy -- much as I don't care for most philosophy academics -- is one field; political science is another; journalism -- basic reporting and editing -- is good, too, for the method discipline it teaches. I knew a lot of journalism majors who went straight on to law school and did well.
