  6. Marked by a teacher

    English law does not normally impose liability for an omission or failure to act despite the fact that there may be compelling moral justifications for doing so. For example, the courts have often explained that there is no legal duty upon a stranger to rescue a drowning child. Consider whether the current legal principles governing omissions are satisfactory (50 marks)

Whilst you don't need to have studied Law at A level to go on to study it at university it is a subject that won't hold you back should you consider doing so. In brief the study of Law at this level includes the role of various legal institutions, the legal profession and how laws are made. It also looks in detail into how the law is applied and this ability to understand, analyse and apply is more important than just knowing your cases. As with any A level you'll be expected to gain and retain a comprehensive body of knowledge.

To be able to succeed in Law at this level you need to be able to carefully craft essay answers which hit the exact points that an examiner is looking for. One way of gaining and improving this skill is to utilise the comprehensive collection of essay examples that Marked by Teachers can offer.

Being both a literate and analytical subject, A level Law is of great value in preparing you for courses in the humanities and in the social and economic sciences.
