I have a 10-mark question. "Evaluate how disputes are resolved through courts and tribunals."
The disputes encountered in everyday life force people into crossroads, unable to decide on how to resolve this said dispute. Dispute resolution through courts and tribunals seem like a minimal list of options, but each have their own strengths to resolve disputes and corresponding weaknesses to strengthen the other dispute resolution method.
Thanks all who answer. :)

Not a great intro for a Legal exam, sorry. You're writing it very Englishy :)
- It's too long.
- It has irrelevant material.
- The final actual guts of the opinion is vague.
The question itself is actually weird, because how do you evaluate *how* disputes are resolved? Do they mean evaluate the *effectiveness* of how disputes are resolved? And do they mean courts vs VCAT, or just two independent evaluations?
Putting those issues aside, however, cut the first sentence and the first half of the second sentence; then figure out what you think is the deciding factor making one better than the other (I'm assuming here it's a comparative eval on effectiveness) and succinctly state that.
For example: "For the vast majority of everyday civil disputes VCAT is more effective because of its accessibility and efficiency."

Yep, it asked to evaluate the effectiveness of dispute resolution through methods used by the courts and VCAT. (Therefore, asking about courts and tribunals I assume)
When you do an intro for a 10 mark Legal question, what's a good idea to start it with? What do you state and how do you go about it?

Depends on the question.
