About this course
This course is ideal for learners who have an interest in developing their understanding of the English legal system. Students will explore a range of topics from murder to manslaughter, insanity to intoxication. We look at how laws are made, how to enter the profession and what sentences can be given to offenders. In Tort Law we discover the rules surrounding negligence and many other areas. In the second year, the exploration of Human Rights will help students to develop an awareness of the rights and freedoms we enjoy, but equally how they can be restricted. We develop a strong ability to identify key legal principles from cases and then use our knowledge to evaluate certain aspects of law, or apply our knowledge to scenarios.d topical issues
