A Level Law
at Walton High, Milton Keynes · other provider
What the college says
Law involves the study of the legal system in England and Wales. You will gain an overview of how the civil and criminal courts work and learn about the part played by both legal and lay personnel. You will see how the Law develops and changes over time. As well as being innately interesting, A level Law provides a taster for Law at university, and gives students a head start compared to those who have never studied Law before. A level Law is also useful for those with no intention of reading Law at university. It is stimulating, promotes critical thinking, and deals with current issues and past case studies.
