are you undergrad or grad... bc for undergrad you can't "major" in law, there is no such thing as a pre-law major.

If you're pre-law, then you take what ever major you find will enrich and interest you, and then ask your advisor about law school prereqs.

If you're actually applying to a law school for a J.D., then i suggest you go for the obvious, harvard, hehe. or dig into which type of law you want to do and research school thats specialize in that field.

There's no law major, and there are no law school pre-reqs. You also don't really specialize in anything once you get to law school, so you don't need to worry about that, either. You don't need to worry about law school at all during your first couple of years of college; just try to get the best grades you can.

Again, your undergraduate major doesn't matter for law school. You don't "major in law" in graduate school, either; you go to a law school. Like I said, you don't need to worry about law school at all yet.

Yale is almost universally considered number one, but it makes no difference, because you can't apply to law school for four years and it has no bearing on what you do in college.

I'm not sure but I heard that UC Berkeley had a pretty good Political Science department and law school... You should try looking deeper into it! Good luck!
To be great is to be misunderstood.

Sure, Berkeley has a great poli sci department and law school. But again, you shouldn't choose a college on the basis of their law school, because nothing says that'll be where you end up.
