- A solid introduction to the law for those who wish to pursue the subject at university or who are interested in a career in the legal field.
WHAT WILL YOU STUDY?
The course will be assessed by way of three two hour exams at the end of Year 13. Each exam will be worth an equal 33%, contributing to the final grade that you are awarded.
Paper 1 - Criminal Law
Paper 2 - Tort Law
Paper 3 - Contract Law
The English Legal System and the Nature of Law will be assessed throughout the course. For instance the course considers: the purpose of sentencing, morality, judicial precedent, fault and the court structure.
The exam will ask you a mixture of substantive (75%) and non-substantive (25%) questions. Longer questions in the exam ask you to discuss a series of events. In these scenario questions you are expected to identify areas of the law and apply these to the facts you are given.
