What the college says

The study of Law involves understanding the systems in place and the personnel involved in making the rules and regulations which guide the conduct and behaviour of society. Law is divided into several areas but put simply, can either be criminal or civil. Have you ever wondered where our laws originate from and why we have some of the laws we do? At Cardinal Newman you will be able to find the answers to these questions and many more by studying the English Legal System, Criminal and Civil Law. The Concepts of Law will also provide you with an in-depth look at morality and justice. If you are someone who is effective at arguing in a balanced manner, with the ability to support what you say, Law might be the ideal course for you. During your first year you will study; Criminal Law (Offences Against the Person); Civil Law (Negligence); Delegated Legislation; Statutory Interpretation; Lay People and Criminal Courts. In the second year, topics include; Criminal Law (Homicide, Offences against the Person, Property Offences, Defences); Concepts of Law (Fault, Morality, Justice).
