This covers the Applied Law 2017 course. Each unit is summarised to introduce students to what they will be learning (Unit 1,2, 3 and 4) and for each unit there is a minimum of 5 tasks (21 tasks in total as there are 6 tasks for unit 3 with it being bigger). Examples include researching key cases and writing a news report on it, creating a job advert for a judge, creating a critical analysis of key legal issues and sentencing activities etc. In total this could be used to cover a good couple of weeks worth of work and serves as a good introduction to the course too.
This should take a minimum of two lessons, but could potentially be spread over 4/5. Includes starter, plenty of review tasks and two demonstrate tasks. Lots of information around the key principles of judicial precedent including ratio decidendi, obiter dicta, stare decisis and the process of binding, as well of the power of the courts with overruling/distinguishing and reversing.
Resource to help that can be used as ‘transition’ work from year 11 to 12 for those who are interested in studying law. Students review evidence then take on the role of a defence or prosection barrister. It is based on making a murderer but also goes over the role of UK courts and the function of those involved. Please note this is more to spark interest in the subject but also allows an opportunity to assess critical and analytical skills! Should take students a day or 2.
Covers civil partnerships and the law surrounding it with case law, compares to marriage and has demonstrate/apply tasks/review tasks throughout. Should take 2 lessons.
Covers marriage (including marriage restrictions and procedure etc) starts with a look at the traditional view on marriage in the UK and how that has changed, the current law with demonstrate/application tasks etc. Should take around 3 lessons.
Covers grounds and bars on/for divorce, dissolution and annulment with 4 full lessons - I stretched this to 6 lessons - activities, application to cases, assessments and challenges etc.
