A levels law

I'm going to be choosing my alevels soon and I'm thinking of going down the career path of law. What a level subjects should I do? My sixth form does not do law

Thankfully, you don't need a level law to do law (some unis even like it more if you dont do it). I would recommend a strong estate based subject (history or english lit), a weaker essay subject *not necessary but does help* (sociology, economics, politics, psychology) and another other subject you like the look of (maths, economics. biology, english lang)

an epq related to law could also aid your application and an epq is generally a good thing to do as it can lead to reduced offers + other benefits

Yh, I was thinking of doing an epq. Thanks for Ur advice 👍
Choose whichever three (and no more than three) academically rigorous A level subjects most interest you and in which you can do well. If I were making the choice, I would choose History, English, and either a modern or classical language, or Politics. But play to your strengths.

Bear in mind also that you can do a degree in any academic subject and then obtain a GDL in one year, thereby opening the path to becoming a lawyer.
