Ok if you want to stick around in the UK then look at universities like:Oxford, Cambridge, Manchester, B'ham, Bristol, Edinburgh, Durham, Nottingham, Leicester, Lancaster etc. Most LLB courses are pretty much the same but if there is a particular area of law you are interested in (say, human rights) then pick a university with a good research group in that. If the department has a research group in it then there is a very good chance you can steer your degree and experience in that direction. For your 3 year LLB you will be paying ~£3300 fees a year although that will probably rise as they don't seem to have grasped the concept of a cap in fees yet at uni grrrr. Then you will need some money for living expenses, I live on about £4000 a year for rent, bills, food etc but then I'm not the richest student. The money for your LLB (fees and maintenance) will come from the student loans company and you will not be expected to start paying it back until you are earning over £15,000 a year and then it is on a sliding scale. So don't worry too much about the costs at the moment.
After your LLB you could take an LLM (a masters- another year's worth of fees and maintenance although you'd need to find an alternative loan company). Or the more common route is to pick between solicitor training or barrister training. If you want to be a solicitor then you will need to go and do the LPC training, if you want to be a barrister you do the BVC. Both of these cost about £15000 (ahhh a lot I know!). There are scholarships available for these things but you will need to be exceptional- excellent grades during your LLB and show a concerted interest in the practise of law through numerous work experiences during your degree.
To get into an LLB programme you normally need very good A levels (3 As or not too far off). They don't have any requirements for which subjects. It would look good if on your personal statement you could talk about a work experience you did, or perhaps even better a prolonged period of work experience. I know that law departments always consider experience at a citizen's advice bureau (CAB) to be very good. It's not the be all and end all if you can't have any of those things to talk about. My friend got into a law degree based on her A levels (AAAA) alone without prior experience. DO have something to say in your personal statement though, besides I like to do work or I want to do law. Talk about a hobby- music, sport, volunteer work, anything. Something that will make you look like a fully rounded human being. That's what universitied want.
