Law Summer Course For Teenagers

Overview

Law and economics are at the heart of every modern society — shaping business, politics, and global decision-making.

At ISSFT, this immersive Law Summer Course in Oxford introduces students to the principles, debates, and real-world impact of law in a global context. Students explore how legal systems shape societies, protect rights, and respond to complex international challenges.

Through interactive seminars, real case analysis, mock legal scenarios, and structured debates, students develop the critical thinking, reasoning, and communication skills essential for future study in law and related fields. From human rights and constitutional law to international governance and justice systems, the course offers a compelling insight into how law operates in practice — and how it continues to shape the modern world.

Learning

Our outcomes for this class are:

  • ✓ Understand core legal principles and how legal systems operate at national and international level
  • ✓ Analyse real-world legal cases, identifying key arguments, evidence, and outcomes
  • ✓ Apply legal reasoning to contemporary issues such as human rights, governance, and justice
  • ✓ Construct and present persuasive arguments through debates, mock trials, and structured discussion
  • ✓ Develop academic confidence and critical thinking skills required for future study in law and related disciplines

Outcomes Critical Analysis

All our classes are designed to prepare students for the future.

We apply 'critical thinking' techniques to all of our academic classes in order to enhance our students' learning. Critical thinking is an important skill, for writing essays and preparing for university/job interviews as well as making future life decisions. As media becomes an ever greater part of our daily life, the ability to disseminate, process and analyse information is an increasingly important skill.

Critical thinking helps us to:

  • Understand the links between ideas.
  • Determine the relevance of arguments and ideas.
  • Recognise, build and appraise arguments.
  • Identify inconsistencies in reasoning.
  • Approach problems in a consistent and systematic way.
  • Reflect on the justification of our own assumptions, beliefs and values
