Amcanion cyffredinol

Introduction to Law is a compulsory module in the LLB programme. The aim of this module is to provide students with an overview of the key aspects of the English Legal System and an opportunity to develop an understanding of legal principles as they apply to the English Legal System. The module will also allow students to study the key areas of the English Legal System and to consider their importance.

Cynnwys cwrs

The module introduces the student to the English Legal System, providing a framework to study what is Law, how the system operates and the system in a social context. The module examines the court structure, both civil and criminal, the judiciary, lawyers and the role and significance of lay participation in the system (magistrates, juries and tribunal members) and the development of Human Rights Law. Where relevant, comparisons will be drawn to the Welsh body of law that is emerging from the devolved administration. Students will be encouraged to develop a critical analysis of the system as it moves into the 21st century, in comparison with other countries and with attention to its history.
