I'm guessing you're in the US? It sounds like you're in high school. Freshman or younger?
The most important skill a lawyer has is his writing skill. English is critical. There's a reason every university worth a damn wants you to have taken English. Not just for law.
I've taken psych. I've taken law classes. I've taken history classes. Never heard of psych law. What do you want to know? None of those classes are necessary for law school. Hardly any class is a requirement for law school. However, that's because law schools presume you can already write properly.
So, take those English classes. Any decent university will want to see 3 or 4 years of English in high school. There's a very good reason for that.
Forget about law school for now. That's way, way in the future. If not, then forget about it for now as well cuz you sound woefully unprepared for it if you haven't had any english classes.

I completely agree with the first answerer.
No law school will even *consider* you, because of your poor English skills.
Take that English course and you will find your GPA will improve (writing skills are essential in any Arts course needed for law school).

I would seriously recommend taking some English if you even want to consider getting into University. Judging from your grammar, you need it... I have taken psychology, poli. sci., and history, and you need English skills for all of those areas.
