Is the law accessible to all?
This lesson is part 4 of a sequence of 6 lessons addressing the key enquiry: Does the criminal justice system serve everyone fairly?
In this lesson, students examine the significance of universal access to the law, exploring its implications for justice and equality. They Investigate support mechanisms that provide accessibility to all. Through the study of case studies, video analysis and exploration of the 2012 LASPO Act, students understand how the criminal justice system strives for equality, but there are often barriers to creating an inclusive and accessible legal system for all members of society.
Students will work towards answering the following questions:
- Why is it important for everyone to be able to access the law?
- What measures support those who struggle to access the law?
- What are the barriers that prevent people from accessing justice?
- How can we ensure accessibility for all?
