The Law course provides students with an understanding of the English legal system and substantive law, including both criminal and civil law. Students develop analytical, critical thinking and problemsolving skills, which will assist students in higher education, in the workplace and in everyday life. The course develops excellent written communication and research skills, while engaging the student in real life challenges. A-Level Law encourages students' organisational skills, together with their ability to think independently. Students are required to write clearly, concisely and in a logical manner. They develop their problem-solving skills and learn how to identify legal issues and apply the relevant law to a scenario to reach a conclusion. This requires students to interpret legislation and read case law. In addition, they gain critical evaluation skills to ensure that they can confidently express views which are substantiated with evidence, encouraging them to reflect on contemporary issues in society.
