Contrary to what you might think, studying law at A Level isn't that advantageous. If you go on to do Law at University, or do the CPE/Post Graduate Conversion Course, you will quickly find that the A Level syllabus is very basic and not entirely relevant.

Having said that, you should choose subjects that are, or are perceived to be, academically rigourous. Whether it is Sciences or Arts doesn't really matter, so History, EnglishLiterature, Mathematics, Physics and so on are all good choices. You might be best staying away from anything with the word "studies" in the title, though! Media Studies, Theatre Studies, General or Cultural Studies etc., or subjects of that ilk such as Sociology are seen by many of the older practitioners who sit on pupillage committees as being soft options.

You should remember also, that not doing a law degree and doing the conversion after another degree (especially, for some reason, History) is often looked upon favourably, as it shows a level of ability in research and other transferrable skills that a law degree doesn't necessarily teach, but which are very much of benefit to a barrister. In that light, you can do whatever you like at college. So long as you pick "real" subjects!
