What kind of degree do I need to be eligible to attend law-school?

Question:

Answers:
Law schools consider applicants with any undergraduate major. Every field of study needs attorneys who know that field. You will need to have a bachelor's degree as a minimum (though there are some very few exceptions).

That said, there are a number of courses that will help you get into law school no matter what your major is. Things like public speaking, written communication, debate and argumentation, philosophy, government, politics, etc... can make a huge difference.

Most colleges have a pre-law adviser. This person should be one of your first stops.
Any degree, Just take the LSAT
The only requirement is that it is a BA degree. It can be a BA in Basket Weaving. Law schools primarily focus on the applicant’s LSAT scores and GPA.

A good LSAT score can really help out a bad GPA, but not always. LOL

The LSAT's basically tell them if you are able to comprehend/understand subject matter material.

you will have to have a bachelor's degree. now there is no right or wrong bachelor's degree but most potential lawyers major in something that involves critical thinking, excessive reading/writing/analyzing skills, and public speaking. such majors would include but are in no way limited to the following: philosophy, english, political science, journalism, criminal justice, etc.
