Find Civil Law tutoring in Horsham

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

• Conduct and mental intent: These two Latin principles form the backbone of most offences — the guilty act and the guilty mind.
• Types of offences: Lessons cover serious offences such as murder and manslaughter alongside lesser-known statutory crimes.
• Defences: Criminal law teaches you how defendants can challenge charges using defences like self-defence, duress, or insanity.
• Sentencing and punishment: Sentencing guidelines and their application form a key part of criminal law education.

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

A private criminal law lesson in Horsham costs approximately £25/h.

Pricing can vary based on:

• Your current level (A-level, LLB, LPC, SQE preparation)
• The tutor's experience and qualifications
• The number of hours booked per week
• Where the sessions take place

Many tutors offer package discounts for booking multiple lessons in advance.

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

• Proving guilt beyond reasonable doubt: In criminal law, the prosecution must prove its case beyond reasonable doubt — a much higher bar than in civil matters.
• The elements of an offence: Some strict liability offences are an exception — these require no proof of mental intent at all.
• The distinction between criminal and civil law: Criminal law is a matter of public law — the state prosecutes offenders on behalf of society, not on behalf of individuals.
• Key legal defences: Each defence has its own conditions, and a tutor can help you apply them precisely to problem questions.

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