Excellent! Makes lessons more interesting." A King, A Level Curriculum Manager and ZigZag Customer

Excellent – beneficial to learners and staff without being overly complex for A Level. My students found it very helpful and the high grade students liked how it mirrors unlocking criminal law as well." — A Christie, Law Lecturer & Examiner, Independent Reviewer

A very well-written resource which will be invaluable for examination revision... It is useful to see the new defence applied to old cases to demonstrate application of knowledge... I like the flow diagrams which would help with application type questions." — S Evans, Law Teacher & Independent Reviewer
