About OCR A-Level Law
OCR provides GCSE and A-Level qualifications with a strong academic heritage. Their specifications are developed in partnership with the University of Cambridge and are widely adopted across England.
A-Level Law introduces you to the English legal system and the principles that underpin it. You will study criminal law, tort law (civil wrongs), contract law, and human rights law, alongside the structure of the courts, the legislative process, and the role of judges and juries. The course develops your ability to apply legal rules to factual scenarios and to evaluate whether the law achieves justice.

Study Tips for OCR Law
Learn case law with precision — know the case name, the key facts, and the legal principle it established. For example, Donoghue v Stevenson (1932) established the neighbour principle in negligence. You must cite cases accurately in exam answers to earn full marks.
Practise applying the IRAC method (Issue, Rule, Application, Conclusion) to scenario questions. Identify the legal issue, state the relevant law and supporting case, apply it to the facts given, and reach a conclusion. This structured approach is what examiners expect.
Create summary charts for each area of law showing the elements that must be proved. For example, in negligence: duty of care, breach of duty, causation (factual and legal), and remoteness of damage. These frameworks help you work through scenarios systematically.
Read about current legal cases and developments in the news. Being able to reference contemporary examples in your evaluation questions demonstrates engagement with the subject and strengthens your critical analysis.
