Hello, I wondered if anyone that' done A2 law knows how much detail you need for each case in criminal law like there's so many, do you need all the details?

You will want to know the courts decision, why it was significant :smile:

facts are also useful especially when explaining the case, but aren't always necessary

So section A is an essay question where you will pick 1 of 3 choices.

Usually they will consist of an offence, defence and point of law question.

Section B is a scenario question where you must use cases and legal rules and apply to the scenario in question to come to a decision about whether the defendant is guilty or not.

Again you get a choice of 3.

Section C is a small scenario and you will be given 4 statements for example
"D committed GBH when he hit V" and you must decide whether they are true or false.

Message me if ya got any problems :smile:

Hi guys!In the part A of the paper, will one of three questions always be on defences? I've looked at past papers from 2010, and defences always comes up apart from one paper, but I was just wanting to ask if it coming up is a certainty or not?Thanks!
