You can major in any subject that you want for pre-law. It depends on the courses that your college offers. Consider taking courses that will be useful to you in law school, such as writing, public speaking, debate, and logic.
You can also take specific subject-matter courses such as Constitutional Law, Civil Liberties, and Criminology. Also try and take classes about the legal system such as Ethics and Crime & Punishment.
