  1. Political Science: This subject helps you understand the structure of government, political theories, and the functioning of legal institutions, which are essential for a career in law.

  2. Psychology or Sociology : These subjects provide an understanding of human behavior and society, which can be useful in areas like criminal law, family law, and human rights law.
