This International A Level Law Course with Edexcel will help you develop a sound understanding of the nature of law and appreciate the role of law in society. Learners will understand the importance of legal institutions and their relationship to other institutions in society. You will also understand the various branches of law in order to give a fuller picture of the role of law.
Please note that we do not offer the Advanced Subsidiary in Law with Edexcel, however we do have Cambridge International Advanced Subsidiary available.
The A Level Law course is split into two sections which are listed below.
1.1 The nature, purpose of and liability in law
This topic will cover the key distinctions between rules and laws highlighting the penalty for breaking either. You will gain an understanding of different views such as natural law, legal positivism and law & justice. You will also understand the term liability and how someone has a legal responsibility.
1.2 The sources of English law, its enforcement and administration
English Law is how we govern behaviour, resolve disputes and maintain order. This topic will tell us where law comes from, how it is applied and enforced and who is involved in the legal system.
2.1 The market
People who buy goods and services must rely on law in order to run fairly. Contract law enforces agreements and negligence provides protection when harm occurs without a contract.
2.2 The criminal offender
If someone breaks the law in a way that harms society, they are a criminal offender. Criminal Law determines when someone is legally responsible for breaking the law along with deciding the punishment they should receive.
2.3 The individual
The individual in Law refers to a person in society and their legal rights and responsibilities. The Law not only protects individuals from harm but it also protects them from unfair treatment or abuse of power. Individuals have rights such as freedom of speech and privacy.
