Course summary

A-Level Law includes the study of: • The legal system • Lawmaking • Nature of law • Criminal law • Tort law • Contract law Typical issues that you will consider include: What is the difference between civil and criminal law? Is the law sufficiently clear for us to know whether we are breaking it? Do legally unqualified magistrates really know what they are doing? And how do you become a lawyer? Law requires a great deal of reading and learning of legal principles. A good memory is most useful. However, the assessment also sets law in its social, economic, and political context and evaluates its usefulness. There will be a variety of classroom activities including discussion, problem-solving, scenario-based questions & video.
