As you say, "law has no specific subject choices". So pick the A levels you think you'll enjoy, and in which you'll get the best grades.

Hi @thatgirlprecious

It is not necessary to do history or English. Most law degrees have no specific subject choices (worth checking with the unis you are interested in just to be safe). Law is competitive as both a degree and as a career so it is important to achieve the highest grades you can at A level. Therefore, you need to do subjects you actually have a passion for and enjoy doing as this will help you have the motivation required to succeed.

I hope this helps and good luck!
