Module 1 - The Separation of Powers
You will explore one of the most important pillars of liberal-democratic politics and a cornerstone of British constitutionalism: the separation of powers. The discussion will centre on the purpose and value of the separation of powers and its complexity, given that all branches of the state arguably make and interpret the law.
Module 2 - Equality Before the Law
You’ll explore the role of equality within the UK constitutional framework and in particular, consider whether this principle is a procedural or substantive norm, applying only to rule application or itself constitutive of legal rules. The discussion then focuses on how exactly the state should respect this principle within a modern context.
Module 3 - Evil Laws and Evil Legal Systems
In this module, you will examine the conflict between natural law theory and legal positivism in greater depth. You will consider the practical implications of adopting particular conceptions of law when courts are required to deal with evil laws and evil legal systems. The Nuremberg trials help to locate and ground these implications.
Module 4 - Criminal Law in Practice
You will prepare for your assigned role as you explore a criminal law case in practice. Whether a witness, the accused, the victim the prosecution lawyer, the defence lawyer or the judge, all participants have a crucial role to play in the justice system and this provides you with an opportunity to see the law in action, as well as develop oratory skills.
