Madison Larnach

My favourite thing about studying law is the power it gives you to advocate for others and create meaningful change. Law isn’t just about rules and statutes—it’s about people, rights, and real-life impact."

I believe I wouldn’t have achieved what I have today without the support from Edge Hill. Not only does Edge Hill have a passion to help students but also to make an impact in the field of law, which is very inspiring.

It also considers the impact of Brexit, the EU’s role as a major trading partner and normative power, and the interaction between domestic, European and international legal orders.

Public Law in Practice

Public Law in Practice equips you with a good understanding of the process involved in bringing a claim for judicial review. Judicial review is a way of challenging how an organisation carries out a public function. It is a specialised type of legal proceeding. Unlike private law which involves a dispute over a person’s rights and obligations, judicial review has a wider public importance because it is about ensuring the state does not exceed the powers given to it by law. This difference means that special rules apply to judicial review. The court’s role is to look at whether a decision was lawfully available to the body which made it. Exploring the three stages of judicial review, from pre-action protocol to the permission and substantive stages, this module will enable you to develop the skills of locating learning resources and engaging in case and statute analysis, legal reasoning, criticism, and oral presentation and argument.

Module code: LAW2066

It is the law that governs relationships between states and the activities of international institutions, including the United Nations and European Union. During the module you will consider areas such as the settlement of disputes, title to territory, diplomatic relations, the law of the sea, human rights, and the law governing international trade agreements.

Module code: LAW2068

Sports Law

Sports Law is a growing sector with ever expanding employment opportunities in legal practice and sports administration. On this module you will examine the public and private faces of sports law. The public face considers how the law is applied within a sporting context, including the areas of criminal law, tort law and employment law. Exploring the private face will allow you to look at the self-regulatory aspects of sports law, including the requirement that sporting disputes are submitted to arbitration rather than be litigated. You will also study whether the public face is impeding the development of the private face of sports law and if there is need for greater self-regulation.

Module code: LAW2069
