Law Interview-style Questions

Note: Oxford and Cambridge do not publicly release any interview questions because they often reuse questions across application cycles. Below are interview-style questions of suitable difficulty that will help you prepare for your Oxbridge interview.

Question 1

If the punishment for parking on double yellow lines were death, and therefore nobody did it, would that be a just and effective law?

Question 2

What does it mean for someone to 'take' another's car?

Question 3

A man stuck in a burning house calls out and offers to pay you a lot of money if you save him. You save him, but he refuses to pay. Can you sue him?

Question 4

If we lived in a world of angels, would there be any need to have the law?

Question 5

If a man was in prison and dying, would it be right to kill him and give his organs to seven people who would otherwise die?

Question 6

What role should the law play in regulating artificial intelligence and genetic engineering?

Interview Tips

  • Think out loud: The interviewer will be assessing your ability to think through complex problems. They can only do this if they know your thought process.

  • Be familiar with your syllabus: The interviewer can ask you a question from any topic you have been taught already in your A level/IB syllabus.

  • Practice: There is no better way to prepare than to practice.
