The module will allow you to develop your knowledge of the lawmaking process through the use of common law, Parliament and law outside UK jurisdiction. This module will also help you develop your knowledge and understanding of how the law evolves and changes, and the impact of social, political, technological and economic climates on the same. You will be able to demonstrate your analytical skills by recognising the influences that shape that law and how those changes are made and applied via the lawmaking process.

The module discusses contemporary issues and practices through debates on modern issues and new legal developments. The module covers a range of legal issues and contextualises the law in practice as well as in theory, drawing on new legal requirements as well as old legal doctrines.
