LEG 155 Legal Systems and Method

This is a foundational module (course) which provides some essential building blocks for the study of law. Learning about law and legal systems is endlessly fascinating and the material in this module provides a basis for your understanding of the other modules of the University of London programme. This module deals with the special vocabulary of the law, introduces the essential skills of the lawyer - such as how to read legal cases and statutes (Acts of Parliament) and provides an overview of some of the key institutions and processes that make up what we understand as the legal 'system'.

Please note, AAU partners with University of London to offer this course and as such, the structure of the course is different and the syllabus reflects contact hours/credits for the full academic year. However, CEA has made arrangements with AAU which allows CEA students to enroll in the course only for the semester and earn 42 contact hrs/3 credits.
