Degree Overview
Objective:
The Criminal Law and Justice LLB (Hons) course explores the mechanisms underpinning criminal law, domestically and internationally, whilst encouraging students to challenge the legitimacy of the State’s power and its interference with individual autonomy and freedom. This course aims to help you:
- Acquire knowledge and understanding of legal doctrines, concepts, principles, rules, and values in the core areas of law and in the specialist area of criminal law and justice.
- Develop an appreciation of the context in which law operates, and an understanding of the dynamic nature of law, its uncertainty, the need for reform, and proposals for such reform in the furtherance of securing justice for all.
- Develop the ability to apply the legal knowledge and skills acquired to both the theory and practice of law, particularly in a criminal law setting.

- Immerse yourself in criminal law by following a criminal case from the commission of an offence through preparation for trial and finally sentencing, through an authentic case simulation.

- Apply to volunteer in the Employment Law Clinic, Advocacy Clinic, or Business Law and Enterprise Clinic at the Coventry Law Centre where selected students can gain practical legal experience under the supervision of trained solicitors and lawyers.
