The session is designed to illustrate the academic skills of discussion and analysis, which you will develop and refine throughout your Open University studies. This particular discussion will be set within a legal context but the skills are relevant to all modules and we hope that non-lawyers will enjoy the session as much as those studying law.

During the session we will discuss the definition of an ‘imitation firearm’ and whether this applies to the particular circumstances in the case of R v Bentham [2005] UKHL 18. We will outline the case for you so there is no need to look it up beforehand. In fact, it will probably be more fun if you don’t!
