Are these A levels a good combo for a law career?

Hey so I'm planning on restarting year 12 to change my subjects that align with my career more and help boost my chances of getting into university as the subjects I am taking now, I picked when I still wasn't sure of what I wanted to do yet as I had many different careers I wanted to dive into and by the time I settled on one path, it was too late and I was way too far into the year to change subjects. I've been interested in law for a long time however I also had other ideas and didn't want to just settle on one path but now I am certain that I want to go into law.

I'm planning on picking
psychology, sociology and RE (philosophy and ethics)

I've heard that your A level subjects don't really matter for law in uni and that they just want good grades however I am unsure if this was true.

Yeah they’re really good. But true, your A levels don’t really matter for law but these are strong essay based subjects so they will likely boost your chances

Alright thanks!

There are no required A level subjects for degrees like Law, Politics, Sociology etc. Yes, an essay-based subject is useful for skills but this is not essential - you could be taking 3 sciences - you just need three high grades. Pick three subjects that you will enjoy studying, and where you feel confident of high grades - do not worry about what you think 'looks good'.

Degree examples :
Undergraduate - Liverpool Law School - University of Liverpool
Undergraduate prospectus : Undergraduate study : Law Department : University of Sussex
