The one thing you can do as far as course work is to decide which law schools you would like to go to, then find out what prerequisite courses you should take as an undergrad. Each law school should have this listed on their web site.

Law school 'may' work like med school - it really does not matter what your undergrad major is as long as you take the pre-req classes and do well on the standardized exam. For law school it would be the LSAT.

It may also be very helpful if you visit some law schools. Some of them may have open houses and if they do take advantage of it and go. Even if you may not want to go to that particular law school you visit, you still may pick up some good info.

Whatever field of law you would like to get into, I would suggest that you try to intern in that field during summer breaks while in law school and right after law school. It will be very important to make contacts early in law school.

I think that you should list which law school and field you would like to get into and research them. The best place to start is the web! Then once you are more focused on where you want to go, then be more pro-active about attending that school. For example, if you want to get into entertainment law, I would not consider a school in Nebraska, but maybe a school in CA, NY or even FL.
