CA + CWA . both have complementary syllabus..... almost 70 % syllabus are same....
Since you need two professional degree, I would suggest to go for CWA. Just because there is not much variation from the syllabus comparing to CS
Since you will practice only as a CA after finishing both, you will not struggle much when completing this combo. preparing for CA exams is all enough to write CWA exams.
If you take CS, you have to study varied laws which might take additional time for your preparation... It all depends on you.... If you are very much interested in Law, go ahead for CS. Else i would definitely suggest CWA. The practical training 3 years (Not as an articleship) in CWA can be done even after you complete your CWA final exams .... If you opt not for this 3 years training, you can call you as Grad.CWA. So this is the edge of CWA over CS.
In CS there is 15 months training which you have to do before exams* which might disturb your CA article period..
Good Luck ....
