Do you have an interest in understanding how the criminal justice system works? Have you ever wondered how punishments are calculated? Do you like the challenge of considering how evidence can be used to contradict a point? Are you considering a career as a lawyer, probation officer, police officer, court official or even a judge? If the answer to any of these questions is ‘yes,’ then A Level Law is the subject for you! Law is the study of a variety of offences as well as the processes that underpin the Criminal Justice and Legal System. It explores the individuals within that system who will use evidence to strengthen their argument as well as considering the concepts behind the concepts of morality and justice. You will also look into elements of civil law such as contracts and negligence. You will study the ideas that provide the foundation that offences are built on. It is an examination-based subject with an emphasis on the ability to construct logical arguments.
A minimum of five GCSEs at grade 4 and above, including Maths. A grade 5 in GCSE English Language and a grade 5 in English Literature.
In Law, you will sit 3 AQA exam papers that test the knowledge, understanding and skills that you have gained from both years of your study at the end of the second year.
