If you want to develop skills that will help you on the LSAT, though, it's never too early to read things that will develop your reading comprehension (start with stuff like the NYT [esp. op-eds], Economist, Scientific American, etc., and see if you can read them with an eye for the arguments the authors are making). I recall when I was in high school I also taught myself about various logical fallacies (just for fun), which probably helped. But that could wait till you take a logic class in college.

Thanks for the response, this is kinda the approach im taking to things right now. Just aquainting myself with basic logic and reading everything I can working on comprehension (which will help in any endeavor)

I love music, I'm a performer and I'm pretty involved in my local music scene and I want to work in the music industry in IP law. So no I don't want to study law for biglaw or something else for money

Glad you mentioned this. Don't want to scuttle your dreams kid but these jobs don't really exist, and insofar as they exist, they exist in biglaw. To even have a chance at making this a reality, you're going to need impeccable grades from a top school, and even then the chances are slim.
If you want to work around music for your career, this is not the route. Only go to law school if you want to be a regular boring lawyer.[/quote]
Thanks! No offense taken, I understand. I can't imagine myself doing anything but law (even if it's not music related), as in nothing else has or will interest me. I understand most people say
being a lawyer sucks, the debt sucks etc. And I still want to pursue law. (However I understand it is in no way happening if I don't get into a good school, it'd just be senseless)
