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.
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.
