What did you actually have to say when talking about the impact?
I said for eg. for franklin dam the effect on law making powers was that the commonwealths law making powers increased because they can now legislate using their 'external affairs' power to legislate in areas that were previously state powers....

yep and it could lead them to assume power in other areas covered by an international treaty. had it been worth more marks i would have also put, for example when they passed the Human Rights (sexual conduct) act 1994 and overrode the tas criminal code but gahhhhh wasted too much time explaining the actual case. damn 4 mark question

did anyone else find it annoying that the space left for answers was clearly not the space that should have been left? it was stupid.

there was only one person that asked for a script book, but she's crazy lol.

Yeh I found it annoyin how 8 mark questions had ridiculous amount of lines. Even though they did that just so ppl didnt have to keep turning pages and writin continued... was still so anoyin seeing the empty space and feelin like u hadnt answerd enough.

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?


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.


Yes enjoyed is definatly the right word. I really enjoyed it... I've never enjoyed an exam before. I know there are some things I screwed up on but over all I had a lot of fun. Especially the last question, I did precendent and wrote for like 5 pages.

civil claims: small claims between traders and consumers relating to the provision of goods and services, under the Fair Trading Act 1999, up to $10,000 but excluding a contract for life insurance. Also claims under the Motor Trading Act where there has been some misrepresentation or unfair tactics (eg false odometer readings)
res: up to $10,000
anti discrim: yep and I knew all the damn areas, and the exceptions (ie. when employers can discriminate against future employees if the employment is for the care or instruction of children, and they reasonably believe the discrim is necessary to protect the childrens welfare. oh and its under the equal opportunity act 1995. and hears sexual harrassment

and i knew the avenue for appeal, examples of orders they make, examples of cases they hear, grr dam you vcaa
