This unit focuses on three interrelated questions: how law acts (and where); how law changes and how this occurs within a broader societal context; and how well law works in action. The goal of the unit, which draws on a number of topical case studies, is for students to appreciate that the law operates in a myriad of ways, does not exist in isolation from the rest of society (but impacts on and changes in response to it), and is not perfect. The unit extends the written and oral communication skills developed at Level 1 and also engages collaborative working skills. -- Course Website
