What are lessons like in this subject?
Throughout the course, there is a variety of different teaching methods used to support learners鈥� knowledge and understanding. The lessons concentrate on varied retrieval techniques and group activities. The subject is taught using legal case law and students use this knowledge to apply to scenario-based activities. Due to the nature of the subject, discussions and debates occur often.
Learning is continued outside the classroom by regular visits to the local courts. Furthermore, we organise guest speakers including members of the legal profession and the National Crime Agency.
What will I study?
What our
students
It's a really good specification in terms of interesting things to learn but also some is fun, besides from nature of law. There is many questionable cases or areas of law that are taught which just make the course that much better and the teacher is great.
