Does it matter what degree you get your in to a law degree?

No, it doesn't matter *what* undergraduate degree you have to get into law school, only that you have one. Law schools look for a strong academic record overall, demonstrated through GPA and LSAT score, rather than a specific undergraduate major. While some pre-law advisors might recommend certain majors (like political science, history, or philosophy) for their perceived relevance to the study of law, these are not requirements. Many successful lawyers have undergraduate degrees in fields seemingly unrelated to law.
