Hi guys,
any last minute revision advice for the week before the legal exam?
Study tips/questions/exam predictions etc. all welcome.
Good luck!
Bahaha ok I will give you some last minute tips.
Have you studied RODD? That wasn't on last year's exam and I was really mad cuz that screwed everyone over in 2012. Like not just know what they are: know the intricacies on how they work. Do you know your court hierarchies (original, appellate jurisdiction) and doctrine of precedent? They weren't tested at all last year and big chance they will this year because they are generally the tougher parts of the Legal Studies course.
Also, do you know relationship between parliament and courts? Again, parliament was only in one 3 mark question last year and I was really mad. Also, the three rights (implied, structural, express) weren't explicitly tested last year - only a comparison with another country - big chance they will ask you to talk about a High court case there.
So yeah, my tip (not sure how accurate it is but for Legal, I recond it is), look at 2013 exam and see what they tested and cover things they didn't test. Of course, they can re-test things from last year, but chances are: they won't. 2013 was generally an easy exam and everything was done to a good standard, unlike 2012.I think this works well with Legal - people may disagree, but that's how I see it. Enough procrastination for me now, good luck!
