Ok well I'm starting my final year grade 12 in september and I'm going tomorrow to change up my classes. Mandatory classes I'm taking are: Eng12, Sociology 12, art 11(need fine arts credit), history 12, math 12. I don't know what other courses would be helpful for me to take in my final year of high school. I can't take any college courses such as: political science and economics. They don't offer those. But ya, what other courses should I take that might help me excel in law? Oh, I have law 12. I live in Canada so, I was thinking to do French 11 and French 12 but I'm not sure if I need those to get into law school.

Well first, you don't want to take french 11 and 12 (assuming that's 11th grade french and 12th grade french) at the same time, but you can take French 11 if you want.
Your school probably has some type of magnet or career school attached to the high school, so consider what course those programs offer, but so late in the game, maybe its no use.
I think the best thing is to focus on your coure courses: Perhaps, if you can handle the academics, increasing the level of your Eng and math classes. If you can take a mandatory course that gives college credit, and you can handle that, I'd recommend it.
Really you don't need to worry about law now. You just need to focus on taking any college level courses you can handle, and increaseing your Eng, and Math as much as you can handle.
Also, add a science if you can.
As for French--most definetly!
If you still need a class, go ahead and do a extra curricula, and some schools have college bound program designed to focus on college application testing.

For law school (in the US), what matters is good grades -- what specific courses you take in high school doesn't matter.
Law school (in the US) is a graduate program, and happens after your 4-year bachelors degree -- so take whatever courses you want in high school, and get good grades to get into college.

Take easy courses and get your GPA up. Then concentrate on the Law School entry exam.

I don't know if your school offers them, but Logics / Argumentation would be helpful, as would Latin if you want to be a real smart aleck.
