Section B The essay section is one that OFTEN serves to differentiate between candidates. High scoring essays will contain well supported lines of debate. Candidates choose one question from a choice of two essay type questions, each consisting of part a) A01 10 marks and part b) AO3 15 marks Analyse and evaluate legal rules, principles, concepts and issues The essay needs to be clearly structured with an introduction focused on the specifics of the question and a conclusion that sums up the argument/s. Candidates should practice writing introductions and conclusions to essay questions.
Component 2 3 scenario questions , each question from a different section Each question is worth 25 marks High scoring answers will thoroughly apply the law to the given scenario with relevant legal authority / citation to support Each question is allocated a maximum of 10 marks AO1: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the English legal system and legal rules and principles and a maximum of 15 marks AO2: Apply legal rules and principles to given scenarios in order to present a legal argument using appropriate legal terminology
Component 3 3 essay questions , each question from a different section, the same sections that were chosen for Component 2 Each question is worth 25 marks High scoring answers will thoroughly analyse and evaluate the law with relevant legal authority / citation to support Each question is allocated a maximum of 10 marks AO1: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the English legal system and legal rules and principles and a maximum of 15 marks AO3: Analyse and evaluate legal rules, principles, concepts and issues
Essay questions Each paragraph should focus on the question, it should make a claim, support the claim with evidence, evaluate the claim and then return to the claim. Evaluation should be sustained throughout the essay positive or negative. Use of evaluative words such as however, but, on the other hand, this is supported by, will help to ensure the candidate stays on track. If evaluation is juxtaposed or tacked on at the end candidates will not be able to access top mark bands.
Scenario questions Each paragraph should focus on the facts of the scenario, candidates are advised to approach their answer line by line Application should be sustained throughout the answer Candidates should include names and facts from the scenario in their answers, remember they are acting as a lawyer here and should state the law and apply to given facts, with legal authority to support Candidates who purely state the law and do not apply it to the scenario cannot access the higher marks bands within A02
Ensuring success in all questions Students must have a clear understanding of the success criteria. Centres could utilise AfL strategies to facilitate this. They need to have a clear understanding of what the question/ scenario demands Their answers must be focussed on this. So if they are asked to evaluate / apply they must do so.
