This unit uses the law of negligence and the way in which claims, such as damage or losses resulting from a car crash or causing injury to another person, are dealt with in English law.

• Unit 2 – Investigating Aspects of Criminal Law and the Legal System

This unit provides pupils with the opportunity to explore how statutory rules are made and interpreted, examine how legislations are made outside of Parliament, explore the various legal personnel involved in a criminal trial and apply the key elements of crime and sentencing in non-fatal offence case studies. Assessment will be written coursework tasks.

Year 13

In this unit, pupils will be encouraged to consider the impact and consequences of crime. Pupils will examine homicide offences, including murder, voluntary manslaughter and involuntary manslaughter. Pupils will examine crimes against property such as theft, robbery and burglary. Pupils will also examine the law relating to arrest, detention and searching people and property.
