The AS course is in two modules, the first of which covers: How Laws are Made by Parliament and Interpreted by the Courts, the Function of the Courts and the Roles of People involved with them such as Judges, Lawyers, Juries and Magistrates.

Some defences such as intoxication, selfdefence, insanity and mistake are considered in both modules. The second module also looks at the relationship of the law to concepts such as morality and justice and uses material considered earlier in the course to examine these topics.
