You need a Bachelor of Arts degree in a university course (e.g criminology), about three years of school, and then you continue to Law school for another three years followed by one year of articling. How do I know?

Wow, Jack. You have quite the obsession with me, don’t you? I am sorry. I don’t drive on the wrong side of the road, though.
Well most people start taking general courses to fulfill their general requirements. That’s unless you’re already done with them because of your AP credits. (That’s not a good idea though because the lower-level classes are actually the fun ones, with variety in student population. When you get to higher level classes all you see are people from your major. This can be a problem in certain majors where the gender ratio is very lopsided - aka computer science or engineering.)
Generally you’ll have a little room to take more courses than you need to complete your major (electives), so it’s a good idea to sample with things you like. It might turn out you hate reading those long court decisions and about jurisprudence and you want to do something else instead.
