These are amazing suggested solutions.
I have one questio though, were strengths and weaknesses essential for the second last question on ref and HC interpretation?
Also i talked about "cultural barriers" instead of a third feature of adversary system for last question in inhibiting fair and unbiased. Is that ok?

Yeah you had to talk about it for High Court and Referendum.
Also my teacher said you had to talk about the judge, party control, strict rules of evidence and procedure and burden and standard of proof for the last one.

I finished with half an hour to spare, so I spent a lot of time on the last question/refining my answers.
For q13 I wrote an intro, then about all 5 features of the adversary system, I evaluated them in terms of the way they either promote or hinder the establishment of a fair and unbiased trial. I compared two of these features (role of the judge, and the evidence that is heavily relied upon). I included a conclusion. Almost 4 pages. Will this be more than sufficient to get a high mark on this question?

that isnt true for the last one, by that i mean your teacher is incorrect, by no means do you have to speak about the 5 features, however in order to get the 10 you had to at least mention 3, i would personally mention 4. The only reason you would need to mention all 5 is if you do not have sufficient information regarding each feature to have a academic discussion.
-
For the 10 marker, if you didn't explain fair and unbiased hearing but linked all of your points to how X feature related to it, would you still get 10 marks given you satisfied the rest of the criteria? My answer went role of the judge s+w, inquisitorial judge, rules of evidence and procedure s+w, inquisitorial rules, party control s+w, evaluation. It was three pages long - do you think I'd be able to grab 10?
-

That is incorrect.
You have talk about TWO specific aspects (Role of the Jude and Evidence Procedure, OR Party Role and Legal Representation ETC) in relation to one of the three facets of an effective legal system
- Fair and Unbiased
- Accessible
- Timely
then compare these two aspects with the Inquisitional system, and how IT fulfils the specific facet of an effective legal system that you have chosen.
-
I think I screwed up the last question. This is because I evaluated 3 parts of the adversary system to one way in which they contribute to an effective to the legal system then compared all 3 to the inquisitorial system for safe measure
I haven't seen the answers but if someone could please email me the answers at [email protected] as both links aren't working for some reason??

if you compare three features, the assesor will only take into account the first two comparisons. they will ignore the other one. you wont lose any marks, dont worry

Emailed. :)

I don't think so because you had to talk about the effectiveness of one element of an effective legal system and compare two of the features. Even if you wrote all the features you will only get marked for the required number. But let's hope for your sake they are lenient. In saying that you probably would get 6-7 depending on the strength of your answer.

Can somebody please send the answers to me on ' [email protected] '

For Discuss and evaluate type questions.
if you only gave strengths or weaknesses but not both of them, would you only be able to get half the marks?

Hi, for Question 12 it states "Using one referendum and one high court case, analyse the impact of referendum and the high courts interpretation of the commonwealth constitution on the division of law making powers."
For this question i used the right cases but did not explain the strength and weaknesses because after reading the questio several times i came to the conclusion that they were not asking us for strength and weaknesses, but to 'analyse' how these 'cases" changed the division of law making power
i explain this in great detail, about the impact of these cases on the division of law making power due to the interpretation/deletion/amendment of the wording of the constitution
I really believe the question is not asking us to give the strengths and weaknesses due to the nature of the question and how it is directed precisely to the impact of the cases rather than an evaluation of the process
I am really worried about this because the suggested answers say other wise!!!!! Please tell me what you think, and what marks i would have received for naming the right cases and analyzing percisely how they changed the division of law making power in their own unique ways

We had similar questions on our Facebook page, and here's what our lecturer thinks:
"You don't necessarily have to provide strengths and weaknesses to get full marks but you can discuss it briefly."
"You can look at the two cases itself in detail but you could include a brief critique of the process."

Thanks, lets just hope my in depth analysis of the impact on the division of power in the two cases is enough! (yn)
