HSC Legal Studies Question Thread

Hi Guys,
Does anyone have any cases that could relate to the care and protection of children.
They can be from any year as long as they were in Australia.

Thank you all.

Thank you all.

The Keisha Abrahams case comes to mind straight away? Both the case of her murder but also the discussion surrounding the care she was in leading up to her death!

Hey,
I was just wondering if you can use a R2P as a legal method in a Legal and Non legal method essay? Thanks

[Angela Karanikolas]

Hey All,
For my topic of care and protection of children does anyone know of/have any legislations (reformed would be extra useful) that support or mention the topic within it.

Thank you

Hey! You definitely can, it is a legal thing, you can reference how it has been seen in the UN response to world order issues!

Hey hey! I've got my Family Law Summary Sheets available in the Notes section, they'll have a few useful bits and pieces for that section of the syllabus!

I have an in-class essay response to a seen question tomorrow on Shelter law, and I'm just writing a draft essay in preparation. Could someone please review my introduction? We've only gotten up to Leasing. It's a 25 mark question, too.

Question: Outline the process of securing shelter and assess the role of the legal system in protecting those securing and providing shelter.

Shelter refers to a fixed environment offering protection from weather and danger, and, under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) Article 25, is considered a human right. The Australian legal system has the responsibility to legislate protections for those seeking and providing shelter into law, and does so reasonably skilfully in regards to contract and tenancy laws. In protecting both landlords and vendors in comparison with tenants and buyers, the protections should be, and are, well appraised, as the law must balance the rights of both procurers and providers of shelter.

Hey Guys, we just sat an in class essay for world order and I only had one form of evidence in my essay. Am I automatically out of the two bands? Personally I thought it was a good essay, but it just didn't have enough evidence and also some pointsa didn't have a judgement sentence. Where would my mark range?Thanks!

That's a bit vague Do you mean by only 2 cases, law reforms etc throughout your entire essay?

The judgement is the crux to an legal essay. It's what your entire essay is based on. If you do not make a judgement that automatically puts you down a bit. I'd have to see the essay to judge but I sorry to say I wouldn't be expecting anything in the Band 6 range

Why did you think it was a good essay? What points did you think you did well?

[SSSS]

Yeah only two cases, and it wasn't throughout. I did make judgements, but I didn't sum it up at the end except for the last point. I thought it was a good essay because I addressed all aspects of the question and my arguement was there, but the problem is it isn't supported through evidence.

You really do have to back anything you say with evidence otherwise it may not be valid. Hopefully you still do decent though.

I would write up a practice essay now and practice doing that. It'll definitely help you later on

Hi GUYS,

I just had a question, how does the lack of a concrete definition for Indigenous peoples cause injustice? Shouldn't it be good, that their is a lack of definition so that there is a more broad set of criteria to allow more people to identify as Aboriginal??

Thanks
