Revising OCR A-Level Law with flashcards you control

Law revision comes down to recalling precise definitions, leading cases and statutory tests under exam pressure. If you were hoping to find a printable pack of OCR A-level law flashcards, DeckOwl does not supply ready-made sets, but it turns your own class notes, slides or handouts into a custom deck in one upload.

  • Cases with their facts and the principles they established, such as Carlill v Carbolic Smoke Ball Co
  • Statutory interpretation rules and when a court would choose each one
  • Elements of negligence and the tests used to establish causation
  • Key legal terms and definitions taken from your own specification notes
Example OCR A-Level Law flashcards
What are the three elements a claimant must show to succeed in negligence?A duty of care, a breach of that duty, and damage caused by the breach that is not too remote.
What is the 'but for' test for causation?The claimant must show the harm would not have happened but for the defendant's breach, as in Barnett v Chelsea and Kensington Hospital Management Committee (1969).
In Carlill v Carbolic Smoke Ball Co (1893), why was the advertisement held to be an offer?It was a unilateral offer to the world, the company's deposit showed an intention to be bound, and Mrs Carlill accepted by using the smoke ball.
What is the golden rule of statutory interpretation?Apply the ordinary meaning of the words, but depart from it where it would lead to an absurd result, modifying the wording only as far as needed to avoid that absurdity.
What is ratio decidendi?The legal principle in a judgment that is necessary to the decision and is binding on lower courts in the same hierarchy.

Built from your material

Cards come from the notes, slides or handouts you upload, so they match the cases and terms your teacher actually covered.

Spaced repetition

Cards you find difficult return more often, and easier ones are spaced further apart, so revision time goes to the gaps.

Photos and scans too

Photos of pages are read with text recognition, so you can turn printed handouts into a deck without retyping them.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text file or image of a page from your OCR A-Level Law course.

Review the flashcards

Check the generated cards, keep the ones that matter and edit any wording that does not match your specification notes.

Study with spacing

Work through the deck in short sessions over several weeks, letting spaced repetition bring back the cards you miss.

Contract and tort questions reward students who can state a rule, name the case that set it and apply it to a fact pattern. Cards work best when each front asks for one of those three things and the back gives a short answer you can check against your notes.

Spaced repetition then schedules the cards you miss more often, so the points you find hardest come back before the exam. Short daily sessions across several weeks tend to work better than a single long cramming session the night before.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for OCR A-level law?

Aim for one card per rule, case or term rather than a fixed target. Remove any cards that repeat each other so your review time goes to distinct points.

What should a good law flashcard include?

Put the case name, rule or statutory test on the front, for example 'What did Donoghue v Stevenson establish?' On the back, give the principle in one or two sentences and the key facts that show how it applies.

Can I export the flashcards to Anki or PDF?

Yes, but exports are paid features. The Plus plan includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, while the free plan allows studying in the browser only.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start. Students with a school email get 40% off Plus.
