Law after IB

Hi
I'm going to be a first year IB student that's planning on studying Law, most likely at Florida State Uni, when I finish. But I was wondering which subjects I need to take? Is History HL really that necessary, or can I take Philosophy HL instead while I take both English A and Economy on HL as well?
Thank you for your answers :smile:

Unless the University specifically requires that you take certain subjects I wouldn't worry too much about it.
History HL will probably only benefit you through the amount of reading and essay writing (at least from my experience).
Philosophy could also benefit you to develop you're arguments. I took Theory of Knowledge rather than Philosophy which I thought was beneficial just to help you think outside the box more than anything.
At the same time it doesn't matter too much unless you enjoy the subject and really engage with it.

Good choice regarding English and Economics. If you're thinking of going into any sort of commercial field or competition law, economics will give you a head start.
