On-demand CPD: How to teach about courts and the justice system

Key stage 3 • Law and the justice system • Training

About this session

Matthew Currey from the Supreme Court and Lizzie Ross from the National Justice Museum with Jane Haynes, an experienced Citizenship teacher and ACT Ambassador will lead you through this interesting session based around the role of the high courts and how students can engage in various different ways.

In this workshop teachers will have the opportunity to develop their own knowledge of this important area of the curriculum. This area of the law is often referenced on GCSE papers but is historically shrouded in misconceptions. This is your opportunity to improve your confidence when teaching this aspect of the legal system.

The session includes a brief overview of the history of the courts, how the courts function, notable cases that have been heard and opportunities for students to visit or connect virtually with the courts across the country.
