Can kids be criminals?

There's a really good discussion on Radio 4's Law in Action programme here, or download the free podcast of it here.

Can younger children know right from wrong?

Can they anticipate the true consequences of their actions?

Can they understand complicated court proceedings?

So, what do you think the age of criminal responsibility should be? 10? 12? 14? 18? Thousands of crimes are committed by the under 10s, but are we demonising our kids?

Complete the poll on the right - but read the article or listen to the discussion first!

MMU Law Talk/LNAT talk

Manchester Metropolitan University are coming into College to talk to AS students about studying Law at degree level.

This is taking place on Wednesday 10th June at 1.00pm in the Theatre. Tickets are available from Mr Howells, Miss Standing or Jarra in the Study Centre.

If you are even vaguely considering studying law at any University, this event will be well worth attending!

LNAT Talk - 18th June

Miss Standing will be giving a talk on the National Admissions Test for Law (LNAT) and personal statements for law students at 1.00 in the Theatre on Thursday 18th June. Again, if you are considering studying law at University, this will be very useful for you, as many Universities require applicants to take this test. Miss Standing will also cover UCAS personal statements for law students.

See you all there...
