Courses about the law

This course is designed to help participants examine the way in which they see the law and to help them understand a number of basic legal concepts such as the distinction between civil law and criminal law and the main elements of a contract.

The aim of this training is to help participants:

• understand two basic legal concepts, contract and statute,

• apply the law in particular legal situations,

• identify accessible and reliable sources of online legal information, and

• use these resources to find information about specific legal scenarios.

This course is designed to help participants develop the skills and confidence to deal with law-related issues through a series of case studies. Participants will take part in problem-solving exercises which develop in complexity as the training progresses.

The aim of this training is to help participants:

• develop problem-solving skills,

• explore non-legal aspects of legal issues such as debt, and

• improve practical skills, such as budgeting and organisational skills, to overcome some of the legal problems.

• sources of reliable legal information,

• basic information about courts, and

• tribunals and alternative dispute resolution routes available for people wanting to enforce their rights and responsibilities.
