Hey everyone, what legislation does legal representation fall under?

Hey everyone, what legislation does legal representation fall under?

Don't quote me but I'm pretty sure it's just a right, not explicitly referred to in legislation... If I'm wrong, please correct me because this is my current understanding!

Any ideas of what to focus on for the Human Rights ext. response?

It's always good to focus on ONE contemporary issue and/or the four developmental areas of human rights. I always do slavery cause it kills two birds with one stone ! (Slavery and Slave trafficking)


 

any chance that the world order question involves compliance and non-compliance since it hasn't been asked??

Since it hasn't been asked, it can very well be an essay question! (Works very well for WO.)

Hey everyone, what legislation does legal representation fall under?

Korrasmi legal representation is a limited right under common law as stated in Dietrich v The Queen (1992) which established the premise that people have a right to legal aid if injustices occur.

Yep, pretty much anything can be linked to changing values. Society values _________, which is reflected in laws X, Y and Z. Almost definitely you can tie this in

awesome, thanks for that...
weirdly enough i'm kinda hoping for a law reform one for consumers
<lets hope i don't jinx myself>

just to do to this: does anyone know any international laws covering consumers?!

Hey guys I was wondering if resolutions and the impositions of sanctions by the UNSC could be considered reform? I want to talk about it in terms of the Iran nuclear deal
Thanks:)

[dumbledore]

hey guys, just making sure, is the use of soft-force in international affairs a non-legal mechanism in achieving world order?? thanks 

[Justinhales]

Hey Guys!!
Does anyone know 2 other points I could use for a crime essay about issues of compliance/non-compliance??
All I can think of is bail laws and the compliance of offenders in terms of breaching 'conditions'!!

tks

[annajpeterson]

if an essay is on the effectiveness of legal and non legal responses do you need to focus on legal/non legal responses equally?

[~BK~]

hey...
is an ombudsman a legal or non-legal measure!?
thanks.

[caitlinlddouglas]

Hey guys another question- how could the development of R2P be seen as part of law reform for world order? Thanks!

[Justinhales]

hey...
is an ombudsman a legal or non-legal measure!?
thanks.

I thought it was a non-legal measure. But I am subject to correction!

Hey everyone, what legislation does legal representation fall under?

Korrasmi legal representation is a limited right under common law as stated in Dietrich v The Queen (1992) which established the premise that people have a right to legal aid if injustices occur.

Just as Primallis said, while there is no statutory or constitutional right to legal representation, the High Court in Dietrich v The Queen [1982] HCA 57 held that a person is entitled to a fair trial and that for serious criminal matters lack of legal representation would prevent a fair trial, so our right to legal representation is an implied (limited) right. Because for example, you can only be represented if you have the money for private legal representation, and then there are certain criteria you have to meet for Legal Aid, so legal representation isn't guaranteed either way.
