Paul’s Answer
To do both (as you described), I would first take a bachelors in psychology route. Then get into law school, get the law degree (because getting into law school does not require a specific bachelors degree), and then start working on a masters in psychology, and then the subsequent specialization certifications.
Depending on the requirements, a Ph.D in psychology might be needed, especially if you work with clients, who are pursuing insanity defenses or other higher level violations that require a professional psychological profile.

Both paths hold their own unique rewards, yet diving into the realm of Forensic Science could provide an opportunity to work in a more solitary environment. Remember, this is just my perspective.
