Exceptional Summer Pre-College Law Program for High Schoolers at Oxford University Campus

Outside of lessons, we are proud to offer a busy and diverse social programme to help you get the most out of your time in Oxford. This includes activities such as punting on the River Cam, zorb football and a murder mystery night in the college. There are also two excursions during the programme, one day trip to visit Oxford and its constituent colleges, as well as an optional day out in London, seeing the city’s most famous landmarks as well as some free time for shopping. Those who choose not to travel to London are invited to afternoon tea in Oxford. Activities and excursions are run by our team of friendly mentors – whose main job is to maximise your enjoyment.

The Law summer program for 16-18 year olds is the ideal way to have a thorough understanding of your field before committing to more advanced studies. As you study the diversity of topics available to a law student and grasp the multidisciplinary character of this profession, you will follow in the shoes of an Oxford student. The topics covered vary from criminal law to European law and beyond, giving you a taste of what it's like to study Law at a higher level. You'll also be asked to attend LNAT seminars, where you'll learn how to prepare for the difficult Law National Aptitude Test.

Example Modules

• **The Separation of Powers: **You will explore one of the most important pillars of liberal-democratic politics and a cornerstone of British constitutionalism: the separation of powers. The discussion will centre on the purpose and value of the separation of powers and its complexity, given that all branches of the state arguably make and interpret the law.
• Equality Before the Law: You'll explore the role of equality within the UK constitutional framework and in particular, considering whether this principle is a procedural or substantive norm, applying only to rule application or itself constitutive of legal rules. Discussion then focuses on how exactly the state should respect this principle within a modern context.
• **Evil Laws and Evil Legal Systems: **In this module you will examine the conflict between natural law theory and legal positivism in greater depth. You will consider the practical implications for adopting particular conceptions of law when courts are required to deal with evil laws and evil legal systems. The Nuremburg trials help to locate and ground these implications.
• **Criminal Law in Practice: **You will prepare for your assigned role as you explore a criminal law case in practice. Whether a witness, the accused, the victim the prosecution lawyer, defence lawyer or judge, all participants have a crucial role to play in the justice system and this provides you with an opportunity to see the law in action, as well as develop oratory skills.

Workshops

Workshops are designed to help participants realize their full potential by providing them with the skills they need to prepare for the next steps in their education and their long-term aspirations. You'll improve your study abilities in preparation for future university studies.

These courses cover a wide range of subjects, ranging from 'Productivity Tips' to '21st Century Technology Skills.' You can be sure that you'll learn something new. This school, unlike traditional institutions, allows you to study outside of the classroom.
