Law usually has no specific subject requirements. What 3 A-level subjects do you think that you’ll enjoy the most or get the best grades in? Do those 3 subjects.

Edit: and yes the combination (maths, economics and psychology) should be fine, I can’t see why and how it’d be an issue.

Writing skills are needed to do well in law, so have at least one A level with a lot of essay writing.

Yes, those are fine. Neither English lit nor history are required to do law at degree level.
