sxcalexc:
The last three dot-points in the course outline.. are they new? It doesn't seem to be covered by my textbook. How do you guys think I should approach these areas of knowledge?


So, they only want the problems in one of the criterion of an effective legal system right? Effective access?

As for
Recent changes in the operation of the legal system to enhance its effectiveness
& Proposed changes in the operation of the legal system to enhance its effectiveness

Are they only changes in the actual legal system? Or would you be able to mention new laws and the like? Thanks guys

hard:
we didn't even study them in class, i had to do them by my self but they are straight foward i guess.

difficulty in gaining access that's common sense stuff anyway. You could talk about cultural, social, language and socio-economic barriers that limit an individual to gaining access to the law.


recent changes include increasing jurisdiction of the Magistrates court from 40,000 to 100,000 in its original civil jurisdiction. Also adding the koorie court as a magistrate division in 2002.
You can then talk about why these have occurred and what have they done to improve our legal system.

recommendations for further change well we assume it's about our legal system so lay your foundations on the elements on an affective legal system and talk about ways to improve these such as timely resolution of disputes, in order to better maximize the notion of prevailing human and democratic rights, we should provide more legal aid and support to rural and disadvantage areas, so that each individual is given the right to uphold their rights and liberties. Just an example.

sxcalexc:
Thanks hard, do you suggest we talk about changes for all 4 areas of an effective legal system?

hard:
no worries, amm depends if it says discuss 2 recommendations for further change in our legal system then you would obviously discuss two changes that could occur for either two of the elements or just one. It all depends on the question and the marks allocated.

costargh:
I was told that a recent change shouldn't be too historic ( I hope that makes sense)
ie mentioning something that happend in 2002 is NOT recent. I think its sposed to be within the last 2 years.

I think in one of the assessment reports it talks about the use of 'recent changes' and how recent they should be and what is acceptable (maybe 2005? or 2006)
