This document contains all the past paper questions from Eduqas A-Level Law exams. This is for the contract option (no human rights questions are included). The questions have been organised so that students can sit 40 minute blind essays. Updated 25/03/24 to include 2023 questions Each page contains either: 1x 25 Mark Evaluation (Paper 3) 1x 25 Mark Scenario (Paper 2) 2x 5 Mark + 1x 15 Mark Sources of Law (Paper 1) 1x 10 Mark + 1x 15 Mark English Legal Systems (Paper 1) There are 80 pages in total. How I Use This I have the entire document printed. I then hand out random essays to students every week in the run up to their exam. They then have 40 minutes to answer the question/s on their sheet. This means each student gets a different question. When we go through the essays they’ve been given they therefore get the opportunity to look at essay plans and feedback for several essays rather than just one. Each essay is numbered at the top of the page. Make sure you get students to write the number on the top of their answer so you know which is which!

This crib sheet is a great way for students to organise their knowledge relating to the various different theories on sentencing. Around the central box there are five boxes for the theories under the Sentencing Act 2020, s 57 which can be filled in with key information, evaluation points or case examples. Nice and colourful, looks great printed in colour but also works in black and white or can be filled in digitally.

Exam Board: Eduqas Paper: Paper 1 - English Legal Systems Topic: English Legal Systems & Sources of Law This lesson is designed to be a last minute revision lesson on ELS & SOL. I use it in the last lesson before the exam (e.g. this year it will be the day before). The lesson is designed to help students see how much they already know and how that knowledge can be used in answers. Starter Tier 1 Cases/Legislation Kahoot (link provided in notes of PowerPoint) Content Overview of Paper 1 including suggested timings for each question. NEW UPDATE! This lesson now includes a brief overview of every topic (one slide per topic) including some key cases and statutes as well as flow charts for the AO2 questions. This is designed to help ensure that every student at least knows the bare minimum before going into the exam. You can either go through this with students or allow them to use it to support their own revision. Main Activity Students will start by each picking a topic. Then they write down everything they know about that topic on a blank piece of paper. Using the worksheets they then write down either the flow chart structure (Part A Topics) or evaluation points (Part B Topics). Students then take the knowledge they know and fit this into each of the ‘paragraph’ headings. Students can then practice planning a past paper question on each topic. Plenary Padlet: Set up a Padlet and give students the link. Students can then ask anonymous questions on ELS. The anonymous nature helps with students who may feel that their question is ‘stupid’ or be too nervous to speak up. Encourage as many questions as possible and make it clear that no question is too stupid! Additional Resources I also give students a past paper to look through as I talk through the structure. Although they will have seen these numerous times before this allows them to have a clear look at what the paper will look like and ensure they are fully familiar with the structure before the actual exam. Includes PowerPoint (with Kahoot link) & worksheets on each topic

Paper: Paper 2 Exam Board: Eduqas Units: Tort Law, Criminal Law, Contract Law Question Type: Scenario Questions This lesson is designed to be taught to students just before Paper 2 for Eduqas A-Level Law. It contains a selection of activities that students can complete to help teachers prepare students for their exam. This is designed for the Eduqas exam board but could be modified to suit scenario question revision for other exam boards. This is the contract law option but can easily be modified for human rights by making your own resources. UPDATE This lesson has been updated with flow charts for each of the torts, criminal offences & contract law issues that students need to know. For each flow chart they have been given one key case or statute that they need to know. These can be printed off and given to students to help them learn the very basics. Activity One This is a flow chart flash card sort. For each tort/crime etc. there is a set essay plan that students can follow to establish it. There are sets of cards for each of these (you will need to print & laminate these, please set printer to "Flip Along Short Edge). Students should be given one set each (e.g. negligence) and can then put it in the correct order. If correct they can then exchange for another set. The group with the most complete sets wins! Activity Two This is an overview of the paper going through what each part contains. It also advises students to spend 45 minutes on each question. I recommend giving your students a past paper at this point to ensure they are fully familiar with what they are going to see Activity Three For this activity students will pick one topic to revise. On a blank piece of paper they write down everything they know about the topic. They then take one of the mind map sheets provided and add the flow chart structure around the outside. Next they will fit everything they know into the relevant paragraphs. This activity helps students to recognise that what they already know is enough as well as creating mini essay plans they can revise from I have included a model one to help There is a challenge activity that asks them to plan a past paper question Activity Four The final activity is a Padlet. You will need to set up your own Padlet and then students can ask any questions they have anonymously. Great for those students who are quiet or feel embarrassed about asking questions.

A link to the jeopardy game is provided (this is an online game). Students are given five categories and different points (like real jeopardy). Each square shows an advantage or disadvantage. Students pick their square and then state what topic the advantage/disadvantage relates to. If correct the points can be allocated. This works well for different numbers of teams or as individuals for small classes. Activity Two This is an overview of the paper going through what each part contains. It also advises students to spend 45 minutes on each question. I recommend giving your students a past paper at this point to ensure they are fully familiar with what they are going to see. Students are also given some top tips for the evaluation paper and also some generic evaluation points - NEWLY ADDED Activity Three - NEWLY ADDED I’ve amended the lesson to add in an advantages and disadvantages table for each topic. These can be given to students to help guide revision. These are especially good for weaker students who might struggle to come up with evaluation points. I usually print these slides out and hand them to students to be used for last minute revision. Activity Four For this activity students will pick one topic to revise. On a blank piece of paper they write down everything they know about the topic. They then take one of the mind map sheets provided and add advantages and disadvantages around the outside.

There are three areas of law listed for tort, criminal and contract Activity 3 - Essay Practice Create an essay plan for each of the essay questions listed.
