Is Law for me?

Hi, sorry if this question is overasked but I've been quite curious.
When discussing future careers a lot of my friends have pointed me towards law as a suitable choice. It's never crossed my mind before (and I can imagine that'd be end of for many people) but I'd like to know from more experienced people if it would be right for me.

My strengths are definitely essay based subjects like English and History but my current career preference is in Computer Science. Social justice has always interested me and so have politics and debate. I'd be interested if there was any intersection between Law and CS but from this information would it suit my strengths?

I was thinking it could be a back-up option but Law seems like a massive industry to break into with the need for a degree immediately so it'd make no sense having such a strenuous course as back up.

Thank you in advance for your help!!

I think you shouldn't feel too pressured to stick to one career all your life, especially in this current labour market. If Computer Science really has your fancy then you should do it for your undergrad because it would be harder to transition into tech then law. Also, while doing your CS degree you could intern at some law firms, in actual fact law firms value people who come from stem backgrounds especially when it comes to IP / Tech law.

That's a really useful insight, thank you.
Do you think pre-uni work experience is valuable if I were to find some for both CS and Law?

Of course. It'll help you when you apply to University, as you'll have more to talk about. Also give you a better idea of both fields if you weren't already sure.

Noted.
When experiencing what work I'd do in a law firm, would it mostly be administrative work given that it's to do with tech? I am more interested in the courthouse setting than admin work, but am eager to know where CS would lend itself to in a law firm - I thought there were digital matter based courts or something. Forgive me for my ignorance
