As well as being innately interesting, A level Law provides a taster for Law at university (though it is not required), and gives students a head start compared to those who have never studied Law before .

A level Law is also useful for those with no intention of reading Law at university.  It is stimulating, promotes critical thinking, and deals with current issues.  It encompasses skills and knowledge that are relevant and prized in many vocational areas.

Adopting a PBL approach in this subject can help students to develop skills in critical thinking, teamwork and problem solving.
