I'm studying Fiction Writing at a large liberal arts school. After I'm done I want to go to Law School (don't laugh, they really like lib arts and writing majors). I haven't declared a minor. Does that matter? My school does not offer minors in History or Political Science, so I'm just taking electives in Foreign Policy, Constitutional Rights, Censorship, etc. Will the law school admissions hold it against me that I don't have a specific minor?
 
Don't stress about 1) having a minor or not or 2) what subject your minor should be in.

To be entirely honest, almost no one cares if you have a minor. That's true of law schools as well. If you want a minor, take one. If not, then fine. Not having one won't hurt you.

If you do want a minor, go with your interests. It needn't be in anything specific to the law, or that's typically thought of as a choice of students intending to go to law school (like history and Poli Sci). You can minor in biochem, if that's where your interests are.

And why would I laugh at a writing major applying to law school? You need to know how to write. A lot. Both for law school and for law, afterwards.
