Course Content: Law is the collection of rules that have been developed to make sure citizens know what their rights and responsibilities are. It affects almost everything we do, from buying a house to getting a job, making a will or getting divorced. A Level Law encourages you to take a broad view of the English legal system, covering the basic principles of law making and dispute solving, and introducing you to issues of substantive law. It investigates aspects of criminal, contract and tort law, as well as considering the rationale for law in our society. As part of the course, you will get the opportunity to visit the Houses of Parliament and the Old Bailey along with local courts.

At A2 Level candidates develop the knowledge and skills acquired at AS. The areas covered include Homicide, Non fatal offences, Defences, theft and robbery. The course concludes with an investigation into the concepts of law such as the relationship between mortality and law and the difference between law and justice.

Course Format: You will learn via a variety of teaching methods, a very high rate of attendance, punctuality and hard work. There wil be an exam at the end of each unit.

Progression: Students who wish to progress onto A2 Law must achieve grade D at AS Level.
