Hey guys,
I have a few last minute legal essay qs:
1. Do we need to define key words ofthe essay q? I've actually asked this before, so i'm sorry for sounding like a broken record, but in our exam feedback our teacher really emphasised that we needed to define 'discretion' in our introduction. I've heard that definitions aren't necessary, and i would prefer not having to remember extra stuff (i do understand the concept, i just find it difficult to explain it in technical wording straight off of my head). Do HSC markers have a preference?
2. Do we need to state the section of the act/treaty? Our just know the name of the act is fine? Same thing with the above, my teacher said we should remember the parts and subsections, but it seems incredibly difficult to memorise all of them.
3. For family law, i feel like there's a lot of overlap between care and protection of children and responsibilities of parents. If we were to discuss those two in an essay, should paragraphs be clearly defined on which topic is being discussed, or can we discuss them together? Also, since CROC is important, should it have a paragraph for itself, or just weave it throughout the essay when i discuss aus legislation?
4. Can we discuss law reform exensively, if the question isn't a law reform question?
Thank you!!!
