NCEA Level 3 Law
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: M. Gleason
The course aims to give students an in-depth knowledge, understanding and appreciation of New Zealand's Legal System so they can participate and contribute to society as informed and responsible citizens.
This course is valuable for students who wish to study Law or Criminal Justice at the tertiary level or have a career which is linked to the Legal System. E.g the Police or Ministry of Justice. Students do not need to have studied Level 2 Law (although it is an advantage) in order to study Level 3 Law.
The Unit Standards offered are assessed offering Achieved, Merit and Excellence grades which can be counted towards an endorsed Level 3 NCEA qualification.
There is no end of year external examination.
