Unis do not specify any subject requirements for Law - they just want high grades.
An essay subject is useful for skills but not essential and many IB science students do very well on a Law degree.

Choose subjects you will enjoy studying, and where you feel most confident of high grades.
Hi...
I was offered 37 total points, with 666 at higher level subjects to study law in England.
I achieved 38 total points, with 775 at higher level subjects.

Will the University still accept my grades or are they strict with the 5 and I may be rejected? Thanks....

Depends entirely on that Uni and how low they are going on 'accept below'.
Phone the Uni on Monday and ask them 'when will you be able to make a decision'.

Your LNAT score + top grades for HLs are both important for Law. HL History is often a traditional subject to apply to Law but it is not always necessary. HL English and HL GloPo are great. Between HL Business and HL Econs, HL Econs is deemed to be more academic. There is often a bias towards ESS. Would you consider a SL Science?
Hey!
Im currently studying law at Cambridge and didn’t take history in the IB as my school didn’t offer it and it didn’t impact my application at all! Just do subjects you enjoy and feel you could score well in :smile:

I’d swap business with econ.

Your subjects are fine for law. It's basically impossible to choose a poor combination of subjects for law with IB due to the structure of the course more or less guaranteeing you have a large proportion of your studies being traditionally academic.
