A-Level - Law

Ever wondered what really happens inside a court? Find out with visits to Crown and Magistrates' Courts. Have the opportunity to talk to members of the Criminal Justice Service and have the opportunity to go to a Crime conference and hear from former prisoners what prison is really like. Be taught by highly qualified staff with a wide range of experience in the field and in the classroom. The study of Law is really the study of people in real situations in the world around us. It is a dynamic subject and is always changing. Every case that results in a trial can potentially change the Law in a particular area. As governments and policies change so does the Law, so it's good practice to keep abreast of the news; an interest in current affairs is an advantage in Law. The course provides a sound foundation in all the major aspects of Law and covers everything from the writing of an act through to the Law being applied to a person in a court case. As a Law student, they will be encouraged to evaluate the decision in the case and its long term and wider effect.
