IB course selection for Law LLB

My IB DP is starting very soon and I was doing course selection for the Diploma. Currently the HL subjects I have selected are Business Management, English LL, Chemistry and my SL are Maths, Physics and French. I was wondering if this is the right subject choice if I want to do Law from a reputable university in the UK. I'm a bit doubtful about my HL selection as having Chemistry might seem a bit akward for a Law school application same with Physics in my SL selection. I'm generally very good in the sciences(I've already done AP physics and chem in grade 10 eventhough I got 4s) and got good grades in Grade 10 so I thought those subjects could probably help me get a 7 for the DP. But now looking at different people's subjects for Law I don't see much of the sciences. I'm also confused about either I should do HL Business Management, I took the class because many of my friends said it's an easy course which could easily get you a 7 or 6 for sure. But again looking at peoples profiles they usually tend to go for the Humanities instead of this so I'm quite conflicted on whether I should choose HL History instead. My only big concern with History in that many people say its a lot of memorization and the subject requires a lot of time/effort. I don't mind studying History at all(I like it in fact) but these votes of opinion definitely don't give me confidence that I could get a 7 or even a 6 because of its apparent difficulty. So please advice me on my course selection.

I haven't done my research but I think universities would say what subjects they require you to have taken for a course.
I did HL History and it was one of the subjects I was worried about most (but I mostly did well in the end). It does take some studying, although I guess it also depends on your teacher (mine was very good and thorough). You have to learn dates and chronology, of course, as well as a lot of information, but it was interesting (the more interested I was in a certain area, the easy it was to remember the facts).
