HSC Legal Studies Question Thread

[Lauradf36]

How much can you talk about human rights in world order?/how is it related to world order?

[Lauradf36]

In regards to the property (relationships) act 1984 (NSW) - Howard v Andrews: After Maurice Andrew's death, Matthew receives significantly less than a heterosexual patent would have automatically inherited
Shoes the ineffectiveness of recognising same Sex couples.

The Miscellaneous Act Amendment (Same Sex Relationships) Act 2008 (NSW) - W v G 1996: two women living together both wanted children. Later got separated and one of them sought compensation for the loss of promised finicau all support and was successful.

There is an SBS insight: Gay Marriage (2013) which explores political barriers to the acceptance of same sawn marriage in Australia and also shows various advocates for law reform such as penny wong

Hope this helps
Phew good practice hahahah

Thanks this was helpful! It's hard cos there's so many laws but finding cases is more difficult.

You can't, they are mostly separate issues. World order is about peace and security. Some situations overlap into human rights issues too, but it is best to maintain a pretty solid distinction between the two. I never used human rights treaties in world order responses, for example

So what NGOs/media did you use? Cos I feel like the majority of NGOs focus on human rights!

Hey where can you use the case of blessington in a young offenders essay?

You are totally right! Media articles, find stuff about any World Order issues. I used a media article about North Korea from that morning's paper in my HSC Legal Exam as for NGO's, that's a lot tougher, but you can use the ones from human rights provided you approach it in a way that is world order focused. "Minimising the impacts of world order issues on the populace," or something like that

what is an economic and social right in domestic law

It represents a rebuttal against doli-incapax for the purposes of achieving justice! You could argue that justice was achieved, or it wasn't, but it would fall into the category of considerations in sentencing for children!

[jamonwindeyer]

what is an economic and social right in domestic law

There are a heap of ways that Economics and Social Rights are reflected in domestic law. For example, the Family Law Act and The Marriage Act both protect socio-economic rights in Article 10 of the ICESCR (related to marriage and family). Fair working conditions enshrined in acts like the Fair Work Act are another

Hi! Just wondering, if the crime essay question is about 'discretion in the criminal trial process' or discretion in general, what aspects should we consider and examples can we use to talk about this?

[Lauradf36]

Ok sounds good. Media articles are the bomb cos you hardly have to memorize anything.
What about Amnesty International, could I talk about asylum seekers or is that too far a stretch? :/

Hmmm, perhaps? If you could link them to a contemporary world order issue then sure!
