Those are good. Philosophy is very good, but you might do political philosophy as one of your options/modules within the subject so have a think about that? Those two can go really hand in hand. History and English are good. I've looked at Politics A-level and that goes well with History if you were to study late Vic England and the birth of America, etc. Economics would seem the odd one out. Since Law is an essay writing subject, I think your best bet is to stay with Philosophy. Also, if you're interested in Criminal Law, and Politcs and etc, Philosophy is for you as it explores what it means to be human, what it means to be knowledgeable and etc. All the famous lawyers from 11th C. onwards all had Philosophy degrees!

It does not matter either way. My friend has a Cambridge offer for Law, his A levels, Maths, Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
