recent changes to the legal system.
hard:
okay, well there's a dot point on the study guide for legal studies and it says that you should study one recent change to the "legal system" followed by another dot point saying that you should make recommendation for the enhancement of the operation of the legal system.
however, while we have finished the book as of today, our teacher said we aren't really going to focus too much on those two areas but rather just touch up on them later on. I've looked over past exams and there seems to be a question about recent changes in all exams. can someone give me an example of a recent change and if whether we should learn it?
the problems in criminal and civil procedures and purpose of possible solution. whats this really mean?
thanks.

An example of a recent change is the Juries Act 2000. I asked my legal teacher today if this was classified as recent.and he said yes, so im gonna go with that. I think you should learn it because its been on past exams, so yeah better safe than sorry :D
In regards to the problems of criminal and civil procedures and possible solution you could talk about the right to silence and say whilst it protects individuals from incriminating themselves it can hinder a police investigation. A solution to this is the Major Crimes (investigative Powers) Act 2004 which has removed the right to silence for those people being questioned in relation to organized crime . In terms of civil cases you could talk about the cost of legal proceedings. As for a solution to this you could mention that on January 1 2005, the MC's civil jurisdiction was increased from $40,000 to $100,000 to make the court more accessible. Those are the only one's i can think of at the moment

I got these handouts from my teacher, and some of them are in my textbook. I'm using Legal Studies 2 Study On or something like that...it has a picture of two cops in 'riot' gear (they are wearing motorcross gear) at a detention centre somewhere...hope that helps
