Law Scholars

Debate. Question. Discover What’s Fair.
Law begins with questions — what’s right, what’s fair, and who decides? Our Law Scholars programme invites curious students aged 12–14 to explore how rules, justice, and society connect. At Oxford Summer Courses, learning law isn’t about memorising facts; it’s about thinking critically, arguing clearly, and seeing the world from new perspectives. Through lively discussions, mock trials, and real-world case studies, students step into the role of thinkers and decision-makers. Guided by expert tutors, they’ll uncover how laws shape our daily lives and how reasoning, evidence, and empathy all play a part in understanding justice.
Explore the Ideas Behind Justice
Every rule has a reason, and every reason has a story. Students will explore how societies create laws — and what happens when those laws are questioned or changed. They’ll tackle topics like human rights, ethics, and equality through debates and creative problem-solving exercises that make complex ideas accessible and engaging. Law Scholars are encouraged to challenge assumptions and explore different viewpoints. By seeing how diverse perspectives shape decisions, students learn that justice isn’t always simple — and that questioning is the first step toward understanding.
Learning That Inspires Debate
Our 12–14 courses are built on interactive and task-based learning, making complex concepts lively and relatable. Students engage in games, mock trials, and group projects that bring law to life — whether they’re drafting their own laws, arguing both sides of a case, or negotiating an ethical dilemma. Small class sizes ensure everyone gets to participate, ask questions, and contribute their thoughts. Tutors adapt lessons to match the interests and energy of the group, helping students grow in confidence as they learn to express ideas clearly and listen to others with respect. The result? Stronger communication skills and a deeper understanding of how we make decisions together.
Inspired by Oxford and Cambridge Traditions
Our teaching is inspired by the Oxford and Cambridge approach — where discussion and dialogue are central to learning. Students are encouraged to ask questions, debate ideas, and explore the “why” behind every rule. Tutors guide them to think independently, reason logically, and defend their ideas with evidence. This model teaches students how to think for themselves rather than follow a script. It’s not about memorising legal systems — it’s about exploring how people create and challenge ideas, and how thoughtful discussion can change minds and shape society.
Beyond the Classroom
Law isn’t confined to books — it’s all around us. From classroom debates to cultural excursions, students are encouraged to see how law connects to everyday life: from the environment to digital rights, equality, and beyond. These experiences help them understand how decisions are made, how societies evolve, and how individuals can make a difference. Collaborative activities encourage empathy, teamwork, and reflection. By the end of the week, students leave not only with sharper reasoning skills but also with the curiosity and confidence to keep questioning the world around them.
