2007 EXAM - Your Thoughts

fuck. it talked about advantages?
does ANYONE here remember the actual wording?

--- Quote from: "Jadelz" ---I really enjoyed that exam especially the last question. I also wasn't sure about breaking and entering...oh well. What question did people choose for no. 13? Jury or precendent?

I did jury, I liked the question. could have written more if i'd had MORE TIME. but overall i think i did ok on that q.
i am seriously still shaky!

Is 'enjoyed' really the right word? lol
Well all in all I am actually pretty satisfied with the exam. It was hard. It was long. But I think I did pretty well compared to everyone else. 2 of my friends who happen to be very very good at legal both didnt finish. One who is an A+ student didnt answer two 8 mark questions. She was nearly in tears. The other one wrote in dot points for the last question.
I had the same problem as you guys. I wrote that Bruce ( i think that was his name) could have it heard in the County Court depending on the severity of the theft and if it was heard on indictment. I also said something about thefts under 25 thousand being indictable offences that can be heard summarily .
I wrote what you wrote goosefraba. point of law to supreme trial division and conviction of sentence to the County.
It didnt talk about advantages. Just asked " if bruce was found guilty where could he appeal to"
something like that
nothing about advantages.
The last question I wanted to do on parliaments but it wasnt even there! lol and i didnt like doctrine of precedent question so i did juries which i rambled on about for a good 3 pages. lol
the civil pre trial question was annoyin. I said soemthign like pleadings and discovry slow down the process. and pleadings and discovery make it too costly. ( legal fees from solicitor) and adrs are just cheaper (no legal rep) and faster (dont have to go back and forth between parties)
Umm.. anything else?
My teacher said that the required mark for an a+ will probably drop because it was too long and was a hard exam compared to last year. Unless they just mark easier on the hard questions compared to last year.

Dw goosefraba. a lot of people would have been rushing through. I dont know anyone who had time to go over and check and stuff. The quesations from 9-12 were killers. Way too long
and also wrote over the specified lines for the 2 high court cases
Dw, youll be fine. I found it hard but am actually happy because I finished it all and wrote in decent detail I started writing on the last page for the last question. just the first few lines.

oh thank god thanks costa :D now i feel less stressed.
