VCE Legal Studies Question Thread

Is an increase in legal aid funding considered a possible reform?
or is this idea outdated now?

It's listed as a reform in my textbook, which is only two years old, so I'm guessing it's okay to say that. But if you're not sure, I'd check past examiners reports for questions asking about potential reforms and see if it's listed there

One that's similar to legal aid is to 'create an Office for Self-Represented litigants' that offers free advice to litigants conducting their own legal case as a recommendation. (then just make up bs expanding this - like how they have a hard time without legal reps as is it difficult to understand complex procedures and how this office can help etc etc)

Yeah have read past examiners reports the only thing that has been mentioned is not to use it as a recent change to the legal system which is fair enough because it has been around for hundreds of years but increasing it is a whole other story. Anyway I was just considering it as a back up one. How many possible reforms are we supposed to know?

Don't worry about practice exams just look and some of the questions in past exams so you can see how they are structured and look at examiners reports to see how they would like answers to look like

I couldn't agree with you more. I never want to hear the phrase 'strengths and weaknesses' again

I found the 10 marker to be easy, unfortunatelt I can't say the same for the 8 marker asking you to talk about how VCAT can overcome the weaknesses of civil pre trial procedures, my answer for that was pretty BS.
