Law
AS Law is compatible with a vast range of other AS courses, and enables students to develop skills in forming a balanced and supported argument, as well as problem solving skills and the ability to recall precisely factual information. Law can lead to a career as a solicitor, a barrister, or in probation, social work and the police force. You do not need any prior knowledge in the subject to start the AS Law course.

Unit 1:
This module investigates the workings of both the criminal and civil systems within the English Legal System. Firstly, we cover the process a defendant goes through from arrest through to sentencing. Next, we cover the process followed to bring a civil claim. Additionally, we look at the people involved in the English Legal System, from the highly qualified judges to the unqualified jurors.
Unit 2:
This module investigates where the law comes from. It covers the making of Acts of Parliament and what they mean, the impact of European Union membership on the English Legal System and the importance of the decisions made by judges in court cases.
