I am choosing my year 8 options soon and I would be very grateful if anyone could tell me what I should take if I want to be a lawyer or barrister, pleas . (do I need to be very good at maths and science??

I studied law in college for a while but decided it was not my thing. However if there is an option at your school to do extra English then I would 100% take it as English links in with law a lot and improving your language skills will help you when it comes to studying law in the future maybe at college or what not.
