The BA (Hons) Law provides a comprehensive grounding in legal doctrine and reasoning. Moot court sessions develop advocacy skills; legal research workshops train you in case law and statutory interpretation. You will study contract, tort, criminal, public, and EU/UK constitutional law, with options in commercial and human rights law. Small-group tutorials ensure rigorous feedback on problem questions and essays.
BA (Hons) Law is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 3 years full-time, and the credit total is 360. Students move from Legal System, Method & Reasoning through Legal System, Method & Reasoning; Contract Law; Criminal Law; Public & Constitutional Law; Legal Research, Writing & Professional Skills; English Legal History & Institutions, and finish on Honours Law Dissertation & Research Project.
Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students say who decides, under which rule, and draft a note a professional could read. Reading is a statute or instrument, a case or policy paper, and a commentary. The artefact a marker expects is a memo or draft clause with sources and a revision note.
The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Apply legal rules to novel fact patterns with structured reasoning Conduct effective legal research using databases and precedents Present oral arguments in moot court settings
Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass.
This course is academic. It does not admit the student to practise law and it is not a qualifying law degree.
The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.
ESCP Law Society hosts mooting competitions and pro bono clinics with supervising solicitors.
