Law: Law and Justice – University Tutorial With Dr Emma Roberts From Aberystwyth University

Register here

In this live interactive Law tutorial, we will be joined by Dr Emma Roberts, Senior Lecturer in Law from the Department of Law & Criminology at Aberystwyth University, who will explore Law and Justice.

This session explores the meaning of justice. It introduces participants to the theoretical underpinnings of justice as they apply in the context of substantive legal rules, such as criminal law and areas of civil liability. The session will examine how legal institutions and processes can contribute towards achieving justice and also form barriers to justice. The session’s content, therefore, maps on to the A-level Law curriculum and offers non-Law students an introduction to the concepts that are key to the study of Law. In drawing upon contemporary legal issues of national and global interest, participants will be encouraged to consider how the law can help maintain a just society.

The full context/introduction to this live and interactive discussion is provided in the Headliner recorded resource below. This recording can be watched as a class activity or independently in preparation for the discussion.

The session aims to deepen students’ understanding of the topic whilst enabling them to access and experience a live online university tutorial.
