Year 13 Law Students Gain Insight at Bristol Crown Court

On Tuesday, Year 13 A-Level Law students visited Bristol Crown Court for an inspiring and educational experience, gaining a first-hand understanding of the criminal justice system.

During the trip, students observed live court proceedings, including criminal trials and sentencing hearings, which brought classroom learning to life. The visit offered a unique opportunity to witness the roles of key legal figures, such as judges, barristers, and jurors, in action.

This real-world exposure deepened the students’ understanding of criminal law, courtroom procedures, and judicial decision-making, providing valuable context to their academic studies.

The visit was a fantastic way to bridge the gap between theory and practice, offering students a deeper appreciation of how the legal system operates in practice. It proved to be an enriching and memorable opportunity for the students, furthering their knowledge and inspiring potential future careers in the legal field. A great way to start Term 3!
