Thought is was pretty easy and straight forward :)
So surprised there was no comparison with another country again
Only question that really gave me triuble was the damages one and what to write for 4 marks

what about yourself?

It wasn't easy and it wasn't hard. I think the problem with the legal exam this year was around ambiguities and personal interpretation.

What questions were ambigious and up for personal interpretation?

I found the 1 question to be a little unclear as proclamation isn't a stage per say but a result of royal assent. The courts as a body that change law was a little odd. The damages question was a bit of a throw off considering it was 5 marks and the supreme court precedent question.

The first question was obiviously proclamation because it gave the date that royal assent was given
I agree with the damages one, had no idea what to write for 4 marks, kinda waffled a bit
The supreme court one was that courts on the same level don't have to follow their already exisiting precedents, they can disapprove of that precedent and create a new one even if they conflcit

How do you think you went though?

How do you think you went though?

Yeah I guess you are right about the first question. To be perfectly honest with you, I saw governor general and assented and ran with it haha.

All in all i hope around 55-60 out of 70. I was expecting higher but this years exam kind of threw me off. How about yourself?

To be honest I was pretty happy with this exam with the one exception being 4 marks on damages question
Well for teh whole year i have wanted to 60/70 at least so hopefully i can get that  ;D

Crap. Why did I post this? Everyone's replies are making me feel awful about my own answers lol. I went with royal assent with the first question as it showed the bill becoming an act. I'm probably wrong. I don't feel good about this.

Shit!! I answered royal assent and I was so confident with that answer..I hated the court question, the damages question, and the VCAT&Victorian parliament questions. Hopefully I answered correctly!!

Thanks! I hope. However I think I got the Court of Appeal precedent question wrong too. Damn. Are you absolutely sure it was proclamation?
