Trafford College
Altrincham Campus
A-level Law develops knowledge and understanding of the English Legal System. The study of Law at A-level will enable you to develop analytical and critical thinking skills. Studying Law will also develop your problem solving skills through the application of legal rules, together with an understanding of legal method and reasoning. These skills provide excellent preparation for those students who wish to progress to degree level study or pursue a wide range of careers.
What’s on the course?
We’ll begin with the Nature of Law and the English Legal System. Firstly, we’ll be looking at the nature and rule of law. We’ll look at the differences between enforceable legal rules and principles and other rules and norms of behaviour. We’ll also look at the equity and fairness of the rule of law. Secondly, we will be considering the workings of the English Legal System. We’ll look at the different courts within the English Legal System and the work of the different personnel that work within these courts.
Alongside this topic we will be looking at three substantive areas of law: Criminal, Tort and Contract. In each of these topic we will look at the theory behind that area of law along with practical examples.
