Sociology is fine. What you major in is less important than that you take courses that will develop basic skills you’ll need to be a lawyer–including writing, oral communication and analytical thinking skills.

Law schools take a wide range of majors–I knew a guy who got into UChicago’s law school who majored in biology. Most lawyers major in something liberal artsish or social scienceish (though this may have something to do with the fact that it’s a way to make money without having to know math…) so a degree is sociology should be fine.
