Forensic psychology is the application of psychology to the legal system.
There are almost unlimited branches of psychology, as new branches are being created each day, given that it is such a young science. Currently, the most well known branches of psychology are behavioral, cognitive, forensic, industrial organizational, personality, and developmental.
I've never heard of "legal psychology" as a specialized study. "Forensic" actually means "pertaining to the law/courts". Within forensic psychology, there are many different roles one can play such as performing psychological assessments for courts, psych interventions for criminal offenders, or as a consultant in legal matters (trial consultant, jury selection, etc.).
The study of psychology in the Philippines is monitored largely by the Psychological Association of the Philippines, which was founded in 1962 to promote excellence in the teaching, research, and practice of psychology. They have divisions in charge of each major component of psychology: assessment psychology, clinical psychology, counseling, developmental psychology, educational psychology, industrial-organizational psychology, social psychology, and teaching psychology.
Requirements vary depending on the country you intend to study and practice forensic psychology. In the UK, for instance, there is a very specific route one must follow via the British Psychological Society (BPS). You must complete a BPS accredited degree that provides graduate basis for chartered membership. You must hold a BPS accredited Masters in Forensic Psychology or have stage 1 of the Society's Diploma in Forensic Psychology. In addition, you must also acquire stage 2 of the Society's Diploma on Forensic Psychology, which essentially consists of 2 years supervised practice.

There are a number of great forensic programs. Some of the best universities offering forensic psychology include The University of Denver and also CUNY John Jay College of Criminal Justice.
You may have to go to another state if you want to have a specific 'forensic psychology' degree, but you can get a more generalized 'psychology' or 'criminal justice' degree that would work for a career in forensic psychology. Another option would be to get your degree online. Walden University and Argosy University Online both offer forensic psychology degrees online and Stratford Career Institute and Ashworth College both offer forensic science degrees online. Then you could stay in the comfort of your home in Indiana and get the degree that you want.
