Course summary

What do Ghandi, Nelson Mandela, Derren Brown and Gerard Butler have in common? They all have law degrees!. If you are interested in current affairs, enjoy reading and want to know more about the English Legal System and the Criminal Justice System, then consider A Level Law. You will ideally enjoy being challenged intellectually, have a logical mind and have the ability to solve complex problems along with the skill of writing creative essays. Our aim in Law is to equip students with the ability to use legal skills during the study of the nature of law, legal issues and the English legal system. They will be able to recognise private and public areas of substantive law, analyse scenarios by identifying key facts which form legal arguments, and analyse legislation through the application of rules and principles of statutory interpretation. Students should complete extra reading, around the subject, and take an interest in contemporary criminal cases in the media.
