Major doesn't matter. Those are the "top" majors accepted because they're also the most useless for getting real world jobs so those people tend to go to law school at higher rates than, say, engineering majors.

No, major in something A)you can get good grades in, and B)you can get a job in, in case the law school thing doesn't work out.
