THE COURSE

Learners will be introduced to the concept of legal liability through the study of criminal law and the law of tort (a civil wrong that causes a claimant to suffer loss or harm). This will enable them to develop and apply the techniques of legal method and reasoning to analyse and offer answers to legal problems, based on legal rules and principles and develop the ability to construct and communicate legal arguments by reference to appropriate legal authorities. The A Level in Law will develop learners’ knowledge of law through advanced study of an additional legal subject, human rights law.
