FAQ's

💼 What do you learn in criminal law?

When you study criminal law, you examine how the legal system responds to harmful conduct and protects society.

  • Actus reus and mens rea: Understanding actus reus and mens rea helps you analyse whether an offence has truly been committed.
  • Categories of criminal conduct: Lessons cover serious offences such as murder and manslaughter alongside lesser-known statutory crimes.
  • Legal defences and justifications: You learn when the law recognises a valid excuse or justification that can reduce or eliminate liability.
  • Sentencing and punishment: The subject also covers how courts decide on appropriate sentences and what factors influence the outcome.

Working with an experienced tutor gives you the structured support needed to excel in exams and coursework alike.

💰 What is the cost of criminal law lessons in Edinburgh?

The average cost of criminal law lessons in Edinburgh is around £18/h.

This rate varies depending on several factors:

  • Your skill level and specific learning goals
  • The teacher's expertise and legal background
  • The number of hours booked per week
  • Where the sessions take place

Most teachers offer a free trial lesson so you can assess their teaching style before committing.

⚖️ What are the basics of criminal law?

Mastering these fundamentals makes every other area of criminal law far easier to study and apply.

  • The burden and standard of proof: Understanding the burden of proof is essential before you can analyse any criminal case effectively.
  • Building blocks of criminal liability: Some strict liability offences are an exception — these require no proof of mental intent at all.
  • Public versus private law: Unlike civil disputes between parties, a criminal conviction can result in imprisonment, fines, or a permanent record.
  • Key legal defences: Defences such as self-defence, consent, duress, and automatism can reduce or remove criminal liability entirely.

These building blocks prepare you for everything that follows — from case law analysis to legal problem-solving.
