Law 9084: where the marks go

A Level Law 9084 is four papers on the law of England and Wales: English Legal System and Criminal Law at AS, then Law of Contract and Law of Tort at A Level. The first paper opens with five compulsory short questions that are narrowly focused, and across every paper, marks go on legal authority: a point without a case, statute or other source is a point half made.

Our papers use original scenarios and essays on the specification, and marking is by assessment objective: knowledge, application using authority, and evaluation. Each lost mark is tied to the objective it belongs to.

Where Law 9084 candidates lose marks

Missing legal authority — Cases, statutes, reports and statistics are what turn a statement into a mark; names of cases do not need years but statutes do.
A case named but not used — The mark is for explaining why the case shows the point, which a sentence after “where” usually secures.
Evaluation that is only a list — AO3 points without development or support reach only the lower bands; evaluation is stronger when supported with authority.
Rewriting the question or over-answering “identify” — Identify needs a short list, and restating the question uses time that Section B needs.
Narrow compulsory questions missed — The five compulsory questions are specific; candidates who left parts blank or drifted off the focus lost easy marks.
