LawByLak — Topic 41: Human Rights Rules and Theory (OCR H418, Paper 3)

Short line The four hours that decide the other forty. The ideas OCR names as the discriminator, four years running.

Body

This topic has never carried a question of its own in Section B, and on the specification it cannot. That sounds like a reason to skip it. It is the opposite.

Read OCR's own examiners' reports for four consecutive years and the same three ideas separate the top band from the middle: proportionality, the margin of appreciation, and dignity. They are not tested here. They are tested everywhere else, in the four topics that follow.

So this module is short by design and it is the front door of the block. It teaches the ideas the other four modules assume you already have.

What's inside

• 23 authorities, with all 15 cases checked
• 15 doctrine cards, one per idea, each with the sentence you'd actually write
• 9 Bronze, 3 Silver and 3 Gold questions, with a three-band answer climb across 18 panes
• A 50-card flashcard deck
• A 27-point specification tracker you mark red, amber or green
• 23 glossary terms, 11 analogies, 7 mnemonics and 3 printable cheat sheets
• Works on a phone. Most of this will be read in bed, and it is built for that.

Straight about one thing

We tell you on the first screen that this topic has never been set as its own question. No competitor tells you what has never been examined, and it is the single most useful thing you can know when you are deciding what to revise on a Tuesday night.
