Introduction to Law topics

This class will be increasing to £6 from January as although not a GCSE class it is being taught at this level and so the class is being kept smaller. There will be the option of a record of study that could be used when applying for A level law (currently there is no GCSE sadly)

Discover the fascinating world of law and legal studies. Explore the foundations of our legal system, rights and responsibilities and application of law in the real world.

Through engaging and interactive lessons, learners will explore case studies, activities to build critical thinking and a solid understanding of how law shapes our society.

Topics covered include:

• The basic principles of law and legal systems, including juries, judges, and sources of law
• Criminal law: elements of a crime, non-fatal offences (e.g assault and battery), fatal offences (murder and manslaughter), theft and robbery
• Defences: self-defence, insanity, and intoxication
• Civil law: including negligence and nuisance

Perfect for students considering careers in law or politics. This course provides a strong foundation for A-level law or anyone interested in how the legal system works in everyday life.
