Course Summary
Whether you want to be a leading barrister, a human-rights campaigner, or just want to know how the justice system works, law A-level could be subject for you!
Course Details
In law we study the English legal system and three areas of law: criminal law, tort law, and contract. You don't need any specific GCSEs and law works well with any other combination of A-level subjects.
In criminal law we study murder, manslaughter, and other offences against the person, as well as theft. Tort law helps us understand if we can sue someone if we're hurt due to someone else's negligence, or if they are causing a nuisance. Contract law is the legal underpinning of our civilised society; if we couldn't make binding promises to each other life as we know it would fall apart!
We also study legal philosophy, asking deep questions about justice, fairness, and morality. We will run a trip to Parliament and the Supreme Court in London, to see where our laws are made and ruled upon.
The course is 100% examined; our lessons are full of real-life cases and lively discussions!
