13. What Will you study in it?
However, different universities have own curriculum, yet the precise are..
TORT
Tort is more an umbrella of different topics than a single subject.
It covers civil wrongs that aren't crimes but, if proved, result in compensation for the loss suffered.
You'll cover the principles and key cases that developed them
CONTRACT
This states the obvious, but contract law covers all of the features of contracts:
when a contract is formed, how to end a contract, and what counts as having performed contractual obligations.
LAND/PROPERTY
Studying property law will bring a new meaning to the word interest.
At its heart, property law aims to teach you when an interest in land is valid in law, how to create one and when it is necessary.
EQUITY/TRUSTS
Perhaps the most mysterious of the core subjects, equity used to be a different type of law,
built on ideas of natural law and justice, with disputes settled in different courts to common law.
HUMAN RIGHTS
Human rights law isn't a core course everywhere but is often offered as an option,
and human rights law now threads through most other core subjects.
PUBLIC/CONSTITUTIONAL
One of the most engrossing elements of public law is its current nature and relevance.
Study is fast-paced and analytical, as you can find yourself studying the benefits of the relatively new supreme court one day,
and arguing for or against House of Lords reform the next.
various Laws and Subjects like Latin English, Political Science, Economics, Constitutions, History , Psychology, Technology etc..
