HSC Legal Studies Question Thread
youii:
You can literally almost use any of them for any points but it depends on how well you can adapt them to the questions. But if we do get asked about the conduct of hostilities most definitely I will be using them.
Good luck I'm failing

Hey!
Does anyone have any cases for changing nature of parental responsibility? And law reform for surrogacy and birth technologies? There seems to only be one legislation???
Many thanks!

Hey,
I don't have any cases for changing nature of parental responsibility but here are my legislation for surrogacy/birth technology:
Status of Children Act 1996 (NSW): Specifies where parental responsibility lies, and to whom the child belongs in complex situations
Assisted Reproductive Technology Act 2007 (NSW): Specific legislation on birth technology and surrogacy in general, including registries for health reasons
Surrogacy Act 2010 (NSW): Removed discrepancies and difficulties in transferring parentage to new parents
NO EXPLICIT FEDERAL LAWS
Hope this helps!! Good luck for the exam!! :)

Hey all!
I have a crime essay coming up and the question is:
"Assess whether a court’s decision to allow an accused person bail or to hold them on remand reflects a tension between community interests and individual rights and freedoms". (25 marks)
I am really unsure what to argue and how to structure solid arguments for a 4 paragraph essay. And I find the bit about the "tension between community interests and individual rights and freedoms" quite confusing.
Some of my thoughts to include are:
- Presumption of innocence
- Upholding procedural fairness
- Rule of law
- Remand = serious incursion of liberty
Any sort of help would be greatly appreciated :)) Thanks in advance.

Hiya!
I usually did three paragraphs for my crime essays but if you like doing four that's all good (it sometimes makes it harder though to think of different controlling ideas). You could maybe combine some ideas :)
I think you definitely have great controlling ideas but you could also consider looking at the multiple Bail Act reforms as it epitomises the tension between community interests and individual rights and freedoms which is a key part of the question, along with giving you more content for your response.
Rushed reforms led to former DPP Nicholas Cowdery criticising the Bail Act changes (2015) as they didn't uphold the presumption of innocence and required individuals to 'show cause'. This definitely resulted in community tension and a failure to balance the rights of the suspect and the community.
Hopefully this somewhat helps!! Sorry my reply was late!!
