Law Students – A – Level Study Notes Books

Sharing is caring!

About me: I am Dr Rytha Raj, who has been actively teaching multiple law subjects over a minimum of 6 years and I found that there are lack of books in providing awareness of law for common men and not many books are summarized well for students. Over a few years, I wrote the books and now there are 4 main series of it

  1. Tort Law
  2. Contract Law
  3. English Legal System
  4. Criminal Law

Currently, I am also representing cases on medical negligence and closely associated with Health Ministry for advise and assistance on medical law and claims to raise awareness.

Tort law has the basic in negligence and it is important to learn and understand it.
Standard of care and breach of duty of care is fundamental as well as psychiatric injuries and duty owed to secondary victims.

The area of defences such as contributory negligence and volenti non fit injuria in claiming damages will be looked into.

Nuisance as a topic, trespass to person and land had also been discussed so that students have overview on that area and have a deep understanding on how to solve those issues practically.

Occupiers Liabilities and rules in Rylands v Fletcher are other topics that are useful as well so that the statutes and common law in that area are being familiarized.

Contract Law

Contract law is mainly on how agreements are formed and for the agreements to be valid, offer and acceptance, consideration, intention to create legal relations and capacity are the necessary elements. Those topics are tested individually and may be tested together as well in exams.

Apart from that, understanding vitiating factors such as misrepresentation and mistake is key in cases involving fraudsters.

Lastly, knowing and understanding the remedies that can be claimed such as the damages, specific performance and prohibitory injunction are necessary since claimants are more interested in remedies for breach of contact rather than the operation of law in many practical circumstances.

The English Legal System

English legal system is the base for many basic law subjects and even the Malaysian legal system. To understand this area, there is a need to master on the sources of law in the England and they are the common law, statutes, delegated legislation, case law, statutory interpretation and etc.

Next, the operation of criminal and civil courts as well as bail applications and criteria shall be learnt in depth to have the necessary confidence in answering exam questions. Sentencing and alternative disputes resolutions are often tested as well. Those topics are interesting but also challenging.

Finally, the area of professionals in the legal area such as judges and lawyers and non professionals such as the juries and magistrates shall be learnt so that readers can know about the functions of each person in the legal system.

The Basic of Criminal Law

Criminal Law is often the interests of many but sometimes it can be very difficult because proper statutes, case laws and quotes must be cited for your answers to stand out.

For that, the book has 18 topics. It starts with actus reus followed by mens rea. The topic of homicide and the partial defences have been examined in detail here.

Sexual offences and offences against persons as well as property offences such as theft, making off without payment, fraud, burglary and robbery have also been analysed. Sample questions and answers are put in for further reading.

General defences such as insanity, automatism, intoxication, necessity and self defence have also been discussed so that the questions on defences can also be attempted with full confidence by students in exams.
