Year 1 (Year 12 Content) Paper 1: The English Legal System and Criminal Law In this Unit, you will look at the Criminal Law. You will start by exploring the difference between the ‘Civil’ and ‘Criminal’ Justice system, with a focus on the role of the courts, legal personnel and penal sanctions (i.e. fines, prison, probation). You will look at the law relating to Offences Against the Person (assault, battery, Grievous Bodily Harm, Actual Bodily Harm), Murder/Manslaughter and apply this knowledge to answer problem questions based on legal scenarios. Paper 2: The English Legal System and Tort Law This Unit complements the first unit, by looking at the ‘Civil’ System. You will examine the role of the civil courts, legal personnel and civil remedies (i.e. damages, specific performance and injunctions). You will consider the law-making process in detail and the role of Parliament in drafting Bills/legislation. You will consider how judges ‘interpret’ the law and the importance of legal precedents to our common-law system. Finally, you will look at the law of Tort – with a focus on the law of negligence and apply this knowledge to answer problem questions based on legal scenarios. Year 2 (Year 13 Content) Paper 3: Special Study – Contract Law In this Unit, you will undertake a special study into Contract Law. You will examine the ways in which a contract can be formed (offer and acceptance), the difference between a contractual offer and an invitation to treat, the requirements for a valid contract, the enforcement of contracts and the remedies awarded if a person does not fulfil their contractual obligations. Through this study, you will appreciate the role that Contract Law has played in the development of our economy and the overlap between contract and other areas, such as Business Studies, Economics and Politics. Students will also examine the growth of consumer protection law and the importance of the Consumer Rights Act 2015 in protecting the rights of consumers against large corporations.
