Crim Procedure A mid-sem

(1/2) > >>

platypus:
To all those Monash Law students who did Criminal Procedure A, do you know what the mid-sem test is about? Is it a factual scenario, policy type question or something else entirely? Also how would you go about studying it? The lecturers not telling us anything and it would be nice to know how to revise on it.

Rohmer:
When I did it (2 years ago) it was just a factual scenario on assault. I remember it was also closed-book (although the end of year exam was open book).

Sorry that probably isn't much help :P, not sure how much it applies now.

platypus:
Hmm yea I think the syllabus has changed since then...I know the test is about Criminal Procedure and we study assault after the test so I don't think it's on that.

zhenzhenzhen:
Lol when I see Crim Procedure A and B and Criminal Law A and B I just wonder how much stuff they could possibly teach you.. in the JD we just have the one subject "Criminal Law and Procedures" and that *should* cover everything according to the Priestly 11 right? @_@

I could see it being possible to condense the two because there isn't as much content in crim A (procedure, assault, murder, manslaughter. B has property offences, sexual offences, attempts, parties/secondary liability and drug offences). In the LLB, Crim A is taught very much like an introductory law unit (going over actus reus and mens rea in some detail) which might be why they split it in two. They are actually keeping it as two subjects even after the new curriculum which is interesting (although torts is being condensed to 1 subject).

For the crim procedure test, I had a factual scenario with short answer questions as well as a policy question (although this was in 2011). I remember it being a ridiculous race against the clock.

As a heads up there will be an LSS revision seminar for the crim procedure test in week 4 Thursday (27th of March) from 5-6:30pm in 12/L3. The crim tutor is fantastic and I highly recommend going!
