Introduction to Public Law | UOL, Level 4

Welcome to the first lecture of Public law, this is a level 4 compulsory subject for University of London International program. Its a unique subject which is very closely linked the political system, the operation of government, current affairs and political developments and requires you to engage with these matters in a manner that would perhaps be less important in a so-called ‘black letter law’ subject. In the Public law module, you will find that although case law is important, particularly in certain areas such as judicial review, often you will also draw upon examples and authorities from Parliament, academic writings, and other scholarly sources to provide the all-important authority and evidence. In this introductory lecture I introduce you to the concept of British Constitution which is unique since it’s an uncodified constitution. Many important terminologies are covered under this lecture for developing a base to understand this module.
