At AS Level, this specification will introduce candidates to a number of key legal concepts, which provide a broad introduction to the study of law. At AS we look at Law Making and the Legal System including Parliamentary law making, Delegated legislation, Statutory interpretation and Judicial precedent. The Legal System covers the civil courts and other forms of dispute resolution, the criminal courts and lay people, the legal profession and other sources of advice and funding and the judiciary. After this we look at underlying principles of criminal liability, the courts: procedure and sentencing, liability in negligence and the courts: procedure and damages. At A2 Level, the specification further develops knowledge of the legal system and of substantive law through criminal law and contract law. Evaluation of the concepts of law continues to be developed.
