OCR A-level Law Paper 1 (H418/01) - 26th May 2023 [Exam Chat]

also do you guys think we’ll see any property offences in the paper? like last year there was attempted theft and robbery but maybe they could ask about theft again?

employment tribunals should only come up as an 8 marker potentially

if disadvantages of juries was a question last year do you guys think we’ll get any jury questions this year?

also do you guys think we’ll see any property offences in the paper? like last year there was attempted theft and robbery but maybe they could ask about theft again?

if we get asked to evaluate non fatal offences in general do we have to explain the whole assault battery s47 s20 and s18 in our AO1? that’s a lot for 8 marks. How do we narrow it down

my teacher didnt even teach us evaluation for consent as she thought it is so unlikely for it to come up as it have been asked twice in previous years and NFO has literally never come up not even on the old spec. If its consent all the students in my college are screwed as hardly any of us have revised it in detail. i think intoxication is more likely than consent bc even if theyve asked it in the specimen paper that paper basically counted for nothing. Lets all pray its NFO though

my prediction on paper 1 tomorrow is

section a:
employment tribunal
juries
ADR

section b:
robbery + duress
gross negligence + unlawful act
insanity + automatism
attempts

evaluation: NFO

qualification, selection and appointment of mags for 8 marks or adr and juries or judicial independence for 12

It’s unlikely that 3 of the same things from last year come up again

I know but what else can they ask? i feel like they asked everything already

to narrow it down i would say prioritise mental capacity defences, genreal defences, loss of control and involuntary manslaughter. murder comes up quite a bit and offences against property have been asked alot recently. as for essays defo prioritise the topics that have never been examined: intoxication and NFOAP

my actual predictions are:
section A: government funding for criminal cases/employment tribunal / ADR / judicial indepen
section B: Duress + theft/ loss of control + diminished / murder / intoxication + insanity
evaluation: OAPA 1861

diminished responsibility came up last year so i doubt they’ll ask it again this year

true but non-fatal came twice in a row, so never say never

does anyone know if aims of sentencing has come up in recent years?

what do you guys think the grade boundaries will be like?
