covers topics such as homicide, non-fatal offences and
police powers.

Course duration One year at AS level. One year at
A2 level.
What do I need to study this subject? You should have
five GCSE grades A*-C, including English and Maths.
Where can this lead me? Success at A level can lead to
many fulfilling careers. Many of our students are now
barristers or solicitors. It is a useful foundation for many
careers such as business, banking, teaching, the police
force and social work. It is also a highly respected A level
for entry onto most degrees. Contrary to popular belief,
entry onto a law degree is not hindered by having
studied Law at A level. In fact, many LSC students who
have obtained a Law A level have successfully
progressed onto reading Law at Oxbridge and many
other prestigious universities and have found it highly
advantageous.
What are the enrichment opportunities? We offer the
following opportunities to complement your studies: Old
Bailey tours, Legal London guided walks, visits to the Royal
Courts of Justice, the Bar National Mock Trial Competition,
revision conferences, and a visit to Harvard School of Law
in Boston, Massachusetts.
