Applied Law
Are you interested in the way the English and Welsh legal system work? Are you fascinated by the role of the police in a criminal trial? Would you like to learn more about how the law has shaped your life and how it may apply to you in a range of situations in the future? This course focuses on the development of law, how it is created, what influences the government and Parliament to create the laws that they do. We then investigate how those laws are interpreted by the courts and how that goes on to shape the law for future generations. The application of law in both criminal and civil law will be considered through the prism of various scenarios. Criminal offences will range from non-fatal offences through to homicide, from theft to criminal damage. Civil scenarios will cover negligence, nuisance and the complex aspects of when economic loss can be recovered.
