I feel like there are no particular subjects you have to do for law, but it might be good to do something like history or English literature as it shows of your analytical skills. Geography definitely is not considered a soft subject. I feel like you should do the subjects you enjoy and are good at as there is no guideline for laws for example my friend who will be doing law at university does English literature, history and Re. Hope this advice helped a bit.

Probably just pick 3, ideally sticking with Maths and History.

They are fine and History is actually the A level subject most commonly taken by Law students.

Agree there is no need to take 4 and would be better to concentrate on getting the best grades you can in 3
