Who is the Sentencing poster for?
Sentencing belongs to the Law section rather than to a school year, because law & society is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning criminal law can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
When should you use the Sentencing poster?
Several aims pull in different directions, and the court must weigh them. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Sentencing belongs on the wall where that law & society work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
What other posters go with Sentencing?
The Elements of an Offence, Corporate Liability and Defences sit alongside Sentencing in the Law section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.The Elements of an OffenceCorporate LiabilityDefences
Is the Sentencing poster free to download and print?
Yes. Sentencing downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Law section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
What size does the Sentencing poster print at?
Sentencing is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Sentencing loses nothing.Printing guide
