Is there any point in doing A-level Law if I don't want to do Law at university?

In my opinion, I would say no.
It's not a facilitating subject.
A lot of universities don't like the A Level - even if the degree course is Law.
It's not seen as academically rigorous.

However, what other A Levels are you considering? Law may complement them. :smile:

Unless you've done law for GCSE and know that you can get a great mark at A-Level I wouldn't bother. A number of unis say that law doesn't even aid an application for a law degree let alone another type of degree. You would be better off picking a subject that you have experience with and are sure that you can secure high marks in.

I'm doing Spanish and French and I'm guessing that Law wouldn't complement them at all :redface:

I just have no idea what to do as I'm just so fussy when it comes to subjects :rolleyes:
I would tell people who want to study law at uni not to bother doing the A-level, so I suppose that applies equally if not more to someone who doesn't...
Law A level isn't something that's regarded that highly by universities. You'd be much better of doing a traditional humanity a level eg history, English

Law is not a well regarded a level to be honest. I'd recommend economics, well regarded a level and not too tricky.
