Course Details

AS-level law

Course Description

It may be possible to study this subject on a part-time basis. The law affects every person every day of their lives in some form or another, whether it's licensing fees for our television, consumer law when we buy something from a shop or not being discriminated against because of our age or ethnicity. So the law is much more familiar to us than we think. If you are good at History, Sociology or English Literature you should be good at Law. It uses a similar method when answering questions in that it is an analysis of cause and effect and all answers must be backed up by using evidence which could be a piece of legislation, case law or quotation from a theorist. For example, it is very similar to using a quote from a text in English Literature, studying the context of when the text was written and the effect of that quote. So studying Law is not so difficult as it may sound!
