Thank yiu. Aged 57, ive decided to do an online a level in law and may or may not d o the exam at the end - its more for personal interest. Yiur videos Re going to be a great help. One question: in law how can i check if a law or section of a law still stands or, has been superceeded by anither Act or case kaw please?
hello, these are great but it would help a lot more if there were model answers shown as it would really show the structure needed for these essay questions.
This is really helpfu, however the general structure and knowing what a good answer looks like is the part that I really struggle with, is there a video where you outline this
If both oblique and direct intent were plausible in a scenario would you get more marks for explaining and applying both of them to the scenario then if you were to explain and apply only one?
Yes, you would get more marks for explaining both possibilities because it shows that you understand the law, and the fact that there isn’t always a clear answer, it can be argued either way. It’s good to suggest which is the most likely on the facts.
Yes it is. Self-defence is available as a defence to murder. It’s a complete defence, so if successful, the defendant is not guilty. It’s not like the partial defences, which reduce murder to voluntary manslaughter. Remember that the key issue with self defence is whether the force is reasonable or not, which will be a question of fact in every case.
@thelawteacher5724 I thought so, thanks for the quick reply I've not had a proper law teacher since the start of the academic year so I've been self-teaching myself A-Level Law, nice to finally have a few questions answered

Thank you for watching. Yes, you should watch my model answer videos that go through how to structure an essay/scenario.

@thelawteacher5724 Thanks for the reply, is self-defence applicable to murder (someone told me it wasn't but I thought it was)?
