Law is an exciting and dynamic subject that governs every aspect of our lives from conception to exhumation. It is a vital discipline and one which is respected by many universities because of the essential skills it develops. You will learn how the legal justice system operates in both civil and criminal law and study key criminal offences/defences. During this course you will study key aspects of the English Legal System such as the legal professions – Who are our ‘lawyers’? What work do they do and how do they train? We’ll also look at more discursive elements such as law and morality – is it the function of the law to impose morality? And whether the Rule of Law is respected. We will also focus on areas of ‘substantive law’ such as the law of Tort covering negligence and occupiers’ liability, as well as Criminal Law, examining topics such as murder, nonfatal offences and property offences. What are the progression opportunities? Law will develop essential academic skills such as effective reading, analysing factual scenarios, problem-solving and formulating and presenting an effective argument. Law is a respected A Level by many universities and contrary to popular belief, this includes those offering law programmes. Many of our students go on to become barristers or solicitors, but law could also lead to work in the legal departments of local government or large companies, teaching, or criminal justice services and much more.
