A Level Law
Introduction
Law is vital to our society. Is justice always done? How do I claim compensation for injury? What do barristers and solicitors do? What is the legal meaning of offences such as murder? Do judges sentence too leniently? Interested in the answers? Then law is the course for you.
Law is a dynamic subject and studying it allows you to gain a valuable qualification alongside impressive analytical skills. You will gain a detailed knowledge of criminal law including Homicide and non-fatal offences, as well as a detailed analysis of tort including negligence and nuisance. You will learn to apply these aspects of law to answering scenario type problems. You will debate the major legal issues of the day and consider broader conceptual ideas such as the relationship between law and morality and how far law achieves justice. You should have the opportunity to visit courts and enjoy work related experience at a law firm.

How Parents Can Help
The new Virtual Learning Environment will allow student’s access to their work and other resources useful for unit and revision work. These can be accessed from a home PC and will allow students to work independently on their schoolwork. Homework tasks will also be set through the VLE and the students will be able to submit their work electronically to their teachers for marking. Parents are encouraged to discuss unit work and suggest possible ways that homework tasks can be completed.
