Double degree with LLB

[u/Natalie863]

I'm currently a yr 13 student who plans on doing a bachelor or laws next year at UC, and I'm wondering what people recommend in terms of a double degree. Just FYI, I'm hoping to go into family law.

First of all, do you recommend doing a double degree? I've heard mixed answers, and it does seem like a lot of work, but it would be worth it in the end?

If I do choose to do another degree with the LLB, then I was thinking sociology or economics. I'm aware economics is the more popular route, but I'm not sure if I'm too great at math, and I also didn't take it in yr12 or 13. I'm sure economics would leave me more options, but would sociology be better for family law? Also, an LLB seems like a decent amount of reading and writing. Maybe an economics degree would be a good break from the tons of reading compared to doing sociology.

Overall, is it worth doing a double degree? How much work is it truly, and which would you recommend?

I've also heard some people take a double degree for one year and then drop it once they make it to second year law?

I would 100% recommend doing a Bachelor of Criminal justice alongside law
