I completely disagree. Psychology is good for a lot of things and it definitely should be useful for commercial law. I shouldn't state much because it really depends on the university so it's difficult to say anything for sure. One thing I do know for sure that psychology is a handy subject to have because you can it apply to many different areas.
I don't think chemistry or biology concern law. In that case, psychology would be better.I don't see why it wouldn't be appreciated but make sure what the university wants first.

A Level Psychology can sometimes be considered a soft subject.

If you're going to do Psychology itself, a lot of universities prefer you haven't actually studied A Level Psychology because it's too simplified and they reckon you'll have a better base to go on and achieve if you do science subjects.

Can't say anything about IB though :panic:

Well, I got into law school with IB Psych at HL. Haven't taken the exams, but my university is asking for a 6. I don't really see any links apart from, errr... eyewitness testimonies? How memory plays a part? Psychology for me is quite boring, I don't really enjoy it, but what can I say? Poor choice but nonetheless it's essay based, so it shouldn't be too bad. It's a soft subject if you don't combine it with traditional subjects. Don't worry, your combo is just fine! Your choices are perfectly suitable :P
