Content / Overview:
On this course, you'll learn about the important issues surrounding our legal system including why we have certain laws, who is involved in the legal system and how the law affects us all. For example, do you know the difference between a solicitor and barrister? Or what power EU law has over the English system? At AS level, there are two modules: the sources of law and the English legal system. For A2, the modules are both related to the law of contract. To help you in your studies, you will visit local courts and see the law in action. If you like reading and debating, then this course will stimulate you and demonstrate your ability to present reasoned arguments based on the English legal system. You will be prepared for the academic training necessary to study Law at university and for employment.
