What the college says

Law helps people achieve their goals. It provides rules for setting up businesses, for getting married, and for owning a house. It provides protection for those who have a job, or make investments or who want to drive on the road. And it supplies a framework for today's challenges such as internet copyright theft, environmental damage or the possibilities of genetic engineering. In short, law is what makes our society work. A level law offers students an opportunity to develop an understanding of law today using scenario based problem solving and discussions of current issues with a legal dimension. No previous knowledge of law is required. The A level law course covers five themes: Criminal law: murder, manslaughter, non-fatal offences such as GBH and ABH,theft, robbery; Contract law: making and breaking a contract, misrepresentations, consumer rights in respect of faulty goods and services; Tort law: negligence leading to physical, psychiatric and economic loss, nuisances interfering with a person's ability to use their land; Law and society: the real world links between law, fault, justice and morality; The English legal system: sources of law, criminal and civil court cases, judges, juries and magistrates.
