Ok so this is what I think are the typical questions for the DPs of aos3. My SAC is tomorrow, so I guess this is good revision for me. If there's anything I missed out on, or included that shouldn't have been, correct me!
• the ability of judges and courts to make law
- comment on the judge's ability to make law WHAT DO I TALK ABOUT HERE? :s is it just the 2 ways courts can make law and limitations on this ability?
- how are judges limited in their ability to make law?
- explain the process of lawmaking by courts (2 ways and elaborate on them)
- discuss the ability of courts to change the law
• doctrine of precedent
- critically evaluate the process of doctrine of precedent; when mentioning RODD, do I always have to define them all?
• statutory interpretation
- explain reasons for statutory interpretation
- what are some effects of statutory interpretation?
• parliament and the courts
- explain the relationship between parliament and the courts in lawmaking
- critically evaluate courts as lawmakers
is there anything I missed out on that I could potentially be asked?
