2. Content Overview: Five Core Areas | 内容总览：五大核心模块
The syllabus is organised into five main areas. Each area builds a different layer of legal understanding, from where law comes from to how it is applied in criminal, tort and contract disputes.
课程大纲由五个主要模块组成。每个模块分别帮助学生学习法律的不同层面，从法律的来源到刑法、侵权法和合同法在纠纷中的具体应用。
- 1. Nature and sources of law | 法律的性质与渊源
- 2. Administration of the law | 司法行政与法律运行
- 3. Criminal law | 刑法
- 4. Law of tort | 侵权法
- 5. Contract law | 合同法
These five areas are assessed through the same two external examination papers. There is no coursework component in the syllabus, so all marks come from written examinations.
这五个模块通过两套外部考试试卷进行统一考查。课程大纲不包含课程作业，所有分数均来自笔试。
3. Section A: Nature and Sources of Law | 模块一：法律的性质与渊源
This section introduces fundamental ideas such as the rule of law, the separation of powers, and the distinction between civil law and criminal law. Learners need to understand why societies need law and how legal rules differ from moral rules or customs.
本模块介绍法治、权力分立以及民法与刑法的区别等基本概念。学生需要理解社会为什么需要法律，以及法律规则与道德规则、习惯之间的不同。
Key sources of law include statute law made by Parliament, delegated legislation created by bodies authorised by Parliament, and common law developed through judicial precedent. Equity also operates alongside common law to provide fairer remedies when strict legal rules might cause injustice.
法律的主要渊源包括：议会制定的成文法、经议会授权的机构制定的委托立法，以及通过司法先例发展起来的普通法。衡平法与普通法并行运作，当严格的法律规则可能导致不公时，衡平法可以提供更公平的救济。
Learners should also study statutory interpretation rules, such as the literal rule, golden rule, mischief rule and purposive approach, because courts often have to decide the meaning of words in statutes.
学生还应学习法律解释规则，例如字面规则、黄金规则、弥补缺陷规则和目的解释法，因为法院经常需要判断成文法中词语的含义。
4. Section B: Administration of the Law | 模块二：司法行政与法律运行
This part of the syllabus looks at how law is administered through courts and legal personnel. Learners need to know the hierarchy of civil and criminal courts, including the Magistrates’ Court, Crown Court, County Court, High Court, Court of Appeal and UK Supreme Court.
本部分重点探讨法律如何通过法院和法律工作人员运作。学生需要了解民事与刑事法院的层级结构，包括治安法院、刑事法院、郡法院、高等法院、上诉法院和英国最高法院。
You should also understand the roles of judges, barristers, solicitors, magistrates and juries. Juries are used mainly in serious criminal cases in the Crown Court, while magistrates hear less serious criminal matters in the Magistrates’ Court.
学生还需要了解法官、出庭律师、事务律师、治安法官和陪审团的不同职能。陪审团主要用于刑事法院审理的严重刑事案件，而治安法官在治安法院审理较轻的刑事案件。
Alternative dispute resolution methods such as negotiation, mediation, conciliation and arbitration are also included. These often provide faster and cheaper ways to resolve disputes without going to court.
替代性纠纷解决方式，如协商、调解、调停和仲裁，也在本模块范围内。这些方式通常能比诉讼更快、更低成本地解决纠纷。
5. Section C: Criminal Law | 模块三：刑法
Criminal law focuses on offences against the person and property. To establish criminal liability, the prosecution must usually prove both the actus reus and the mens rea of an offence, unless it is a strict liability offence.
刑法重点研究人身犯罪和财产犯罪。在刑事案件中，控方通常必须同时证明犯罪行为和犯罪意图，除非该罪行属于严格责任犯罪。
For non-fatal offences, learners should know assault, battery, actual bodily harm and grievous bodily harm. Fatal offences include murder and both voluntary and involuntary manslaughter. Property offences include theft, robbery and burglary.
在非致命人身侵害方面，学生应掌握殴打、侵身、实际身体伤害和严重身体伤害。致命犯罪包括谋杀以及自愿和非自愿过失杀人。财产犯罪包括盗窃、抢劫和入室盗窃。
Defences such as self-defence, duress, necessity, intoxication, consent, insanity and automatism must also be studied. Students need to explain when a defence may reduce or remove criminal liability.
学生还需学习正当防卫、被胁迫、紧急避险、醉酒、同意、精神错乱和无意识行为等抗辩理由，并能够说明这些抗辩何时可能减轻或免除刑事责任。
6. Section D: Law of Tort | 模块四：侵权法
Tort law deals with civil wrongs that cause harm or loss. The most important topic in this section is negligence, which requires proof of a duty of care, a breach of that duty, and damage caused by the breach. The famous case Donoghue v Stevenson established the neighbour principle for duty of care.
侵权法处理造成伤害或损失的民事不法行为。本模块最重要的主题是过失侵权，该责任需要证明注意义务、违反义务以及由违反义务造成的损害。著名案例 Donoghue v Stevenson 确立了注意义务的邻人原则。
Learners should also study occupiers’ liability, which concerns the duty owed by occupiers to people entering their premises, and nuisance, which protects a person’s enjoyment of their land. The rule in Rylands v Fletcher introduces a form of strict liability for dangerous things escaping from land.
学生还应学习占有人责任，即占有人对进入其场所者负有的义务，以及妨害行为，该制度保护人们对土地的享用权。Rylands v Fletcher 规则确立了对土地中危险物逃逸的一种严格责任。
Defences in tort include contributory negligence, consent and inevitable accident. Remedies usually aim to compensate the claimant through damages, although an injunction may be ordered to stop continuing harm.
侵权法中的抗辩包括共同过失、同意和不可避免的意外。救济措施通常以损害赔偿金补偿原告，但在持续侵害情况下法院也可能发出禁令。
7. Section E: Contract Law | 模块五：合同法
Contract law examines how legally binding agreements are formed. The essential elements are offer, acceptance, consideration and intention to create legal relations. The case Carlill v Carbolic Smoke Ball Co is a classic authority on offer and acceptance.
合同法研究具有法律约束力的协议如何形成。合同成立的基本要素包括要约、承诺、对价和建立法律关系的意图。Carlill v Carbolic Smoke Ball Co 案是关于要约与承诺的经典判例。
Learners must understand the difference between an offer and an invitation to treat, and know the rules on counter-offer, revocation and the postal rule. Consideration must be sufficient but need not be adequate.
学生必须理解要约和要约邀请之间的区别，并掌握反要约、撤销要约以及邮寄规则。对价必须充分，但不一定必须足够合理。
The syllabus also covers terms of a contract, including express and implied terms, conditions, warranties and innominate terms. Exemption clauses that try to limit or exclude liability are tested regularly.
课程大纲还包括合同条款，包括明示条款和默示条款、条件条款、担保条款和中间条款。试图限制或排除责任的免责条款也是常见考点。
Vitiating factors such as misrepresentation, mistake, duress and undue influence may make a contract void or voidable. Finally, students should know how contracts are discharged and the main remedies, including damages, specific performance and rescission.
虚假陈述、错误、胁迫和不当影响等使合同无效或可撤销的因素也可能影响合同的效力。最后，学生应了解合同的解除方式以及损害赔偿、强制履行和撤销合同等主要救济措施。
8. Assessment Structure and Weighting | 考试结构与权重
All candidates take two written papers. Paper 1 is a multiple-choice paper, while Paper 2 is a structured question paper. Both papers focus on the five content areas, but Paper 2 requires longer written answers and more developed legal reasoning.
所有考生需参加两套笔试。试卷一是选择题，试卷二是结构化问答题。两套试卷均考查五大模块，但试卷二要求更长的书面回答和更完整的法律推理。
The table below summarises the assessment format for the syllabus.
