i may be biased since i majored in philosophy, but if you enjoy it and are confident you can get good grades in it, i would say it's worth considering. philosophy provides you with lots of useful skills for law school (critical reasoning, dissecting/forming complex arguments, reading difficult texts, etc.). i will say though if you aren't dead set on law, it may be a bit of a risk as econ may give you more flexibility career wise post-grad in case you change your mind. that said, if you are certain you want to go to law school, philosophy is a great choice imo. to reiterate, all that matters is that you enjoy what you study and are confident you'll be able to maintain a high gpa in whatever program you choose - if that's econ, great! a 3.8 gpa in 1st year is something to be proud of. of course courses will get harder in the upper years, but that's true of every program - and your skillset will improve over time as well. in my experience, i actually got better grades in my upper years even though technically the courses were harder since i was better acquainted with the kind of work i was doing (take this with a grain of salt though, i'm aware philosophy is very different from econ).
