REALLY QUICKLY WHEN RAPE IN MARRIAGE WAS MADE ILLEGAL WAS IT DONE THROUGH THE COURTS OR DID THE COURTS UPHOLD THE PRECEDENT AND PARLIAMENT abrogated it, I have two different versions in my notes for some reason.

I heard that rape in marriage was carried on in the courts through the doctrine of precedent, and then this ruling was abrogated by the parliament. Pretty sure they absolutely slammed the judge who made the conservative decision.

hello people!

in class i've learnt about the 3 principles of justice and it's confusing for me to distinguish fairness and equality, because both words are so similar in terms of concepts. so what is the difference between the two principles?

Hey there!
It can be a bit confusing, definitely.
So, let's think of fairness as giving everyone the same opportunities. This is often seen as similar, if not exactly the same as equality, but in law fairness is where people should be able to have a fair hearing and trial, with a fair opportunity to present their case and a competent understanding of court processes. On the other hand, equality is just giving everyone equal footing within the legal system, where no party has an advantage over the other where it can be helped.
Here's a little image that explains it:


Thus, equality and fairness are similar, but very separate ideas.
Thoughts are only thoughts.
They are not you. You do belong to yourself,
even when your thoughts don't.

Does anyone know when the 2018 exam will be published in the VCAA website? Do they usually publish at the start, middle or end of the next year the exam was taken? (this year 2019)

There's no set date, but I'd say it will be rather soon considering exams from other subjects are being uploaded. They are always generally uploaded during term 1 (or just before).

On the study design it says we have to know "fines, community corrections orders and imprisonment, and their specific purposes". How in-depth should we know something like, say, imprisonment? Is it necessary to know concurrent, cumulative, aggregate and indefinite sentences inside and out or should we just know the basics and how they relate to imprisonment's purposes?
will i ever understand how forums work? stay tuned, folks 😎

I'm always of the viewpoint that the more you know about a specific topic, the better. Whilst a question will never ask you to list the different types of prison sentences, you can get a question that requires you to explain the sanction of imprisonment. You can add depth to your answer by referencing these different types. So, my advice is, learn them :) You never do know when you can utilise that knowledge, but when you can, your answer will definitely stand out, and you'll be rewarded.

So I'm kinda new here so there's that I guess.

In the notes I bought at the 3-4 lectures this year, it said we needed to know the specific types of committal procceedings; however, I looked over the study design (I made sure I'm looking at the current one hehe), and all it says is the 'purposes of committal proceedings'.

Also does anyone have an ideas about where to get sample ten mark questions from? I'm really going for that 50 this year, but oof the stress.

Hey! Welcome to the forums  :)

Yes, you're correct. The study design states that you will be required to "explain the purposes of committal proceedings". So what I recommend (and what I did), is to simply have a basic understanding on what committal proceedings are and when they are used (a pre-trial procedure that takes place in the Magistrates' Court for an accused charged with an indictable offence and the accused is pleading not guilty). The purposes of Committal Proceedings are outlined under Section 97 of the Criminal Procedure Act 2009 (Vic) (you don't need to know this statute, but it really adds depth to your answer if you include it!) So, in short, no, you don't need to know the specific types of committal proceedings (still not sure what this means.. do you mean the parts of a committal proceeding?)

As for ten mark questions, take a look at past VCAA papers! Although the questions on pre 2018 exams may no longer be applicable (as they are based on the old study design), parts/all of some of these questions still will be. If you are unsure on whether it is still relevant, take a look at the 2018+ study design/ask here/ask your teacher!

It's nice to see your aiming for that 50! With sustained and consistent effort and work, you'll be setting yourself up for a nice mark for legal studies. Any future questions, feel free to post them here :)
