A levels for law degree?

I'm taking English Literature, RS and Politics, which are all very essay based. For my 4th AS I want to choose a less strenuous subject (or a contrast). My school doesn't offer many non-traditional subjects, and I'm not very good at maths based subjects. I like Art but feel it would take up too much time. Any advice on what else I could do? :confused:
If I were you I'd take history or perhaps psychology? What are your options?
Economics. Not very much maths + artistic, since you draw graphs.

why not go for a modern foreign language? it's by no means less strenuous, but if you enjoy learning about different cultures and tongues then it couldn't be more suitable! it would really compliment your current choices and give you an edge as a prospective lawyer, i reckon.

I'm a bit scared to do History aswell as English Lit, as I didn't do it for gcse. :/ They don't so Psychology at my school... umm..

Maths
Biology
Physics
Chemistry
Economics
Business Studies
Art
Spanish
Drama
Critical Thinking (as a 5th AS level)

I think that's about it. :/

I would personally go for History having done the subject. But like someone else pointed out, a modern language would be an excellent final addition :smile:
economics all day opens your horizons even if you don't get the grade you want :-)

Either Economics or Spanish to be honest. Art is ironically seen as "soft" even though it requires the most effort.
Thanks for the input everyone. :smile: What do y'all think about the two English A levels (separately) for AS then dropping language?

Many Universities do not specify any specific subjects for Law. They are just interested in mega-high grades.

Bristol is one example : "All A-levels are acceptable, with the exception of General Studies and Critical Thinking. No A-level subject is considered any more or less important than any other. A-level Law is acceptable, but does not confer any advantage in the admissions process" http://www.bris.ac.uk/law/ugdegrees/
