At my school, we don't have a defined "pre-law" track. In fact, it's very rare that a pre-law actually follows a defined set of courses like a pre-med does. Law students can come from any major - I have friends who are practicing law and did undergrad majors in Computer Science or Architecture. To tell the truth, you can get to law school with any major, not just a political science one =) *cough*Just gotta ace that LSAT and get a good GPA...*cough*

For me, I want to eventually work with corporate law. My major in management science has been personalized to include a lot of business law and corporate finance classes, since those are the areas in which I have interest. Hopefully this answers your question!
