What the college says

Why do we have the laws that we do? Is it a problem that there is only one female judge in the Supreme Court? How do you prevent juries using social media to research the defendant? Should the law treat an intoxicated defendant more leniently or more harshly? Is it ever reasonable to kill someone? These are just some of the questions that students will try to answer as they study two years of A level law. If students enjoy asking questions and trying to make sense of the idea of justice and its relationship to law, then A level law might be for them.
