      In Depth

      What will I study?

      In Year 1 you will study a range of compulsory modules to ensure you understand the fundamentals of law. This includes legal reasoning and legal analysis, and the principles that regulate legally binding agreements. You will be introduced to the law of civil liabilities and have the option of taking a lawyers’ skills module. Focus is also placed on criminal justice processes, in addition to key theoretical perspectives relevant to the study of crime and social justice.

      Modules in Year 2 are compulsory and will cover a variety of areas that will allow you to examine the law that regulates the relationship between citizens and government. This equips you with an understanding of the key principles of land law and considers what has to be proved against defendants in criminal trials in England and Wales before individuals can be subject to punishment. You will also explore the concept of violence in its various forms and study contemporary debates and current issues in criminal justice.

      In Year 3 you will study a combination of compulsory and optional modules. The options cover areas such as employment law, company law, tax law, media law, sports law or family law, as well as jurisprudence – the theory or philosophy of law. You will examine the fundamentals of European Union law and the relationships between national and EU legal orders. You will also study the functions, purpose and justifications for the use of punishment as well as the historical and political contexts of contemporary policing. Taking the Law Clinic Experience module provides the opportunity to work in the department’s Pro-Bono Law Clinic and offer legal advice under the supervision of qualified solicitors.

      How will I study?

      As well as lectures, all modules use seminars or workshops which are smaller discussion groups in which you will get the opportunity to express your ideas and develop your legal analysis and problem solving skills. You will also participate in moots, visit legal institutions and be part of the Student Law Society. Each module has a comprehensive handbook which tells you what the classes are about, the cases and legislation to read and the titles of coursework assignments.

      How will I be assessed?

      Assessment is designed to ensure that you acquire a wide range of skills, particularly those required by future employers. You will write case reports and essays, critically analyse legal documents, give oral presentations, defend and advise clients and take exams. Exams account for at least half of the marks of many modules, though there are also a small number of modules which are assessed by coursework only. You will always be given feedback on your work so that you learn from the experience.

      Who will be teaching me?

      You will be taught by highly qualified, experienced and enthusiastic academics who are actively researching and writing about the law as experts in their particular specialisms. Many of the programme team are also involved in international projects, for example training judges and lawyers in European Union law. All are actively engaged in the world of the law and legal institutions.

      A Great Study Environment

      A student listens attentively during a lecture.The £6m Law and Psychology building provides contemporary teaching and learning facilities for students in the Department of Law and Criminology and the Department of Psychology.

      The three-storey building includes a 250-seat lecture theatre, seminar and tutorial rooms, and social learning areas which encourage a more informal and interactive style of learning. Elsewhere on campus, there is a mooting room (a mock courtroom) where Law and Policing students can train and practice their advocacy skills and cross-examination techniques, as well as preparing for giving evidence in court.

      The EHU Police Training and Simulation Facility, part of which is furbished as a police station, is used to simulate a wide range of crime scenes. This will enable Law and Policing students to work together in areas such as gathering and analysing evidence, including forensic evidence at crime scenes, as well as practicing interview techniques used by the police through role play, while also ensuring that the rights of suspects are upheld.

      The department’s Pro Bono Law Clinic provides opportunities for Law undergraduates to offer legal advice, free of charge, to other students in the University and members of the local community. The students providing legal advice are supervised by professionally qualified members of the lecturing staff and there is input experienced legal practitioners based in the region. The key aims of the Pro Bono Law Clinic are to enable students to gain experience of giving practical legal advice and also to provide a no cost advisory legal service to the student community.

      You can also participate in the departmental Mooting Society, making an oral presentation of a legal issue or problem against an opposing counsel and before a judge, and join the student-led Edge Hill University Law and Criminology Society.
