Legal Studies

Topic 3 - The Individual and the Law  

The Individual and the Law unit enables students to have confidence in approaching and accessing the legal system and provides them with a better appreciation of the relationship between social and legal structures. This unit assists in the development of students’ knowledge of their basic legal rights and responsibilities and applies this to a context which appeals to their interests - technology. Students will investigate the way in which the law impacts on individuals by referring to legal and non-legal institutions, laws and media reports.
