Topic: Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Marks: 10 Exam Board: Eduqas Unit: English Legal Systems Paper: Paper 1 This is a 10 mark essay question on ADR. The question focuses on AO1 and would form part of Paper 1, English Legal Systems as part of the Eduqas A-Level Law exam. If students are completing the essay in class under timed conditions they should be given 15 minutes to do so. Included is a model plan and a model answer to help support with marking and DIRT work.

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

This lesson is designed to help students practice their evaluation skills in preparation for Paper 3: Perspectives on Substantive Law. This is designed for the Eduqas exam board and the Contract Law option. This requires students to have studied all of the content but could be adapted to suit a group that hasn’t yet finished it. Starter Ten questions for students to answer covering a variety of areas of law. Answers are on the following slide. Evaluation Tips Slide of top evaluation tips Slide of generic evaluation points - these are points that students can make if they cannot think of anything or have a brain freeze in the exam Activity 1 - Essay Plan Match-Up In pairs students will be given an essay title and then arguments for and against. They should use these arguments to create an essay plan answering the question. Students should use this structure: Point Counter-Point Point This will need printing and cutting up. I recommend laminating and tying together with bands so they can be reused Activity 2 - Ideas for Reform Create a mind-map of reform proposals for each of the areas of law listed. 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. Students can work individually, in groups or pairs. There are three essay questions listed for tort, criminal and contract. Plenary The plenary is an evaluation Kahoot. An evaluation point is displayed and students should select the legal authority that supports the point. The link to the Kahoot is provided in the notes section of the PowerPoint.

Additional Activity Information Case and Legislation Lists These are split into Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 Tier one cases are the cases students must know. Tier two are the cases they really should know. Tier three cases will help them enhance their essays.

Then the more tier three you learn the more you will move up into A/A*. This helps students target their revision and makes the case and legislation load feel less overwhelming.
