German, Spanish and law at uni

I love languages and I really want to study both German and Spanish at uni, but I also want to do law because it will make the languages more useful. Is there a way I can do all 3 subjects? For example I was trying to look at studying Spanish and law at a German university, but it's really hard to find out what courses are available in Germany. I am also not sure if I did a modern languages and law degree in the UK, if it could be two languages? Please help!

You could study two languages and then study for a Postgraduate Diploma in Law. A PGDL course takes one academic year.

The reason Unis don't off two languages with Law is that that would leave time to study enough Law to qualify for an LLB. Remember that most Unis offer extra-curricular Language courses, so you could still study the other language in an informal way. So, you could either do Law and one language, or as suggested above, multi-languages/year abroad and then do Law for postgrad if you are still interested at that point.
