What will I learn?
AS Law covers the introductory element of law focusing on the development of our legal system, and how it operates today, and the civil law of Tort. This is then built on during the A level when we consider criminal law including offences against the person and murder, and then Human Right laws and how they affect us as citizens. We will also consider defences to these crimes and how they are managed in the legal system.
