The course is designed to familiarise students with legal systems’ characteristics and functioning. While most law courses focus on particular areas of law, covering the main doctrinal rules and principles which govern them, this course is distinctive in equipping students with further essential tools for a rounded understanding of the law, its practical operation, and its impact on society.
This course covers a detailed study of the rules, protocols and conventions which govern the judicial interpretation and development of law in the English legal system. Additionally, we will undertake a comparative and historical analysis of the very different ways in which rules and protocols have developed in both the civilian systems on the continent of Europe and the common law system of the United States.
The course also examines the ‘general part’ of criminal law and selected areas of the special part of criminal law in the context of theories of the aims and functions of criminalisation. The course encompasses a broad range of established and emergent property forms, ranging from questions of copyright, data and shared ownership to aspects of land and real property. This course also introduces the law of contract, including the formation of contracts, express and implied terms, misrepresentation, exclusion clauses, and remedies for breach of contract.
