Ever wondered what the difference is between murder and manslaughter? Ever wondered what society hopes to achieve by sending someone to prison for ten years? What about the difference between theft, robbery and burglary? Or the difference between juries and magistrates, or a solicitor and a barrister, or a crown court and a county court or any kind of court? These, and many other questions, will be answered during the course. • Dispute Solving in the Legal System – Learners explore how civil disputes are resolved, both in the courts and by alternative means. They will examine the making and working of precedent and its application in the law of negligence. • Investigating Aspects of Criminal Law and the Legal System – Learners research how laws are made and interpreted, who advises and decides on the outcome of criminal cases and the punishments that can be imposed if laws are broken. They will then present advice to clients on non-fatal offence case studies. • Applying the Law – Learners examine the law related to specific crimes, including homicide and offences against property. They will explore the police procedures for dealing with such offences. • Aspects of Tort – Learners examine the principles of tort and liability in negligence for psychiatric harm, explore liability for economic loss and investigate the law on occupier’s liability and vicarious liability.
- Automatic entry onto Level 3 courses includes students achieving 4 x Grade 9-4 or equivalent at GCSE alongside a Grade 4 or above in English or Mathematics. Students with either English or Mathematics at Grade 3 or below will have individual meetings to determine the most suitable pathway within the Sixth Form.
Learners will be required to complete all units over the course of two years. There will be a mixture of internal and external assessments including a Synoptic assessment which will require learners to apply learning from across the qualification to the completion of a defined vocational task.
