Find Civil Law tutoring in Farnham

Criminal law covers the rules and principles that govern how offences are defined, prosecuted, and punished.

• Actus reus and mens rea: These two Latin principles form the backbone of most offences — the guilty act and the guilty mind.
• 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.

A private tutor can help you work through case law, essay technique, and exam strategy so you master each area with confidence.

The hourly rate for criminal law lessons in Farnham averages £15/h.

The cost depends on:

• Your current level (A-level, LLB, LPC, SQE preparation)
• The instructor's credentials and track record
• The number of hours booked per week
• The lesson format (online, at home, or at the tutor's)

Online criminal law tuition is often more affordable while remaining highly effective.

Criminal law rests on a set of foundational principles that shape every offence, defence, and court procedure.

• The burden and standard of proof: In criminal law, the prosecution must prove its case beyond reasonable doubt — a much higher bar than in civil matters.
• 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.

Once these basics are secure, you can confidently tackle more advanced topics like homicide, fraud, and inchoate offences.
