Replaced Year One module text ‘Understanding Law in Context’:

This module will provide you with a sound introduction to the study of Law at Warwick. It aims to explore the meaning of Law in Context as a concept and approach. It will incorporate an understanding of English legal method within the institutional context of the English legal system and engage with the importance of legal theory in this respect. You will gain a critical overview of the machinery of justice at the heart of the English legal system, become familiar with fundamental legal techniques and develop an understanding of law and theory. All subjects will be taught primarily through participatory and problem-based exercises in workshops and seminars (of approximately 20-25 students) where you will have the opportunity to test and develop the fundamental legal knowledge and core skills necessary throughout your studies.
