There is so much stuff to know. Its one thing doing sacs but remembering it all for the exam is hard, although the questions seem to be very general so hopefully it will be ok.

It was pretty good. I probably didn't get a perfect score, but I did ok.

That High Court Interpretation q. got me. Why was it worth 4 marks when it was so specific?

koukz · 9 Nov 2005, 5:49 PM

I've never heard about that case, I used the Franklin River Dam (1983). Both had the same result though, so you can use it.

yeah i chose this 1 to write bout... i don't know why they'd make it 4 marks it's worth 2-3!!!

our teacher got her copy of it 30 mins into the exam.
when we came out, she had answered it, photocopied it and gave it to us to take home.
i only made 1 mistake worth 2 marks in the WHOLE exam (question 10aiii- i answered the wrong pre-trial procedures, however i answered the reason why she would have used them).....
so according to my teachers' answers i got 58/60....... 97%!!!!!!!!!!!!

i was ranked #3 in my class so what study score is the most realistic??? anyone know???

thanks

Yeh legal exam was not too bad at all. I chose Qs 9 and 11 what did others do???
And by the way, Family court's jurisdiction was the only tough part wat did u guys write for that? I wrote issues surrounding custody of child and the dividing of finances once a marriage has split. ???????

original21 · 9 Nov 2005, 11:22 PM

dooky. i wrote the same (custody of child and the dividing of finances).... that is correct.

original21 · 9 Nov 2005, 11:23 PM

oh yeh didnt answer ur other question.... i did question 9 & 10........

dooky · 10 Nov 2005, 10:26 AM

cheers original, was getting abit worried about that one.

woeisme · 10 Nov 2005, 1:05 PM

I did questions 9 & 10 I think they were really easy, although I am not sure I went into enough detail in the 12 mark question in question 9 about law making through parliament and the courts. It was a simple enough question that I had answered before but still it wasn't my best effort. How much did everyone write for their 12 mark question? I think I did well but legal isn't a particularly difficult subject so most people do and that is why it is scaled down.

Its not scaled down, it stays the same.
And also, i started a second script book during the exam (1 page of it).
How much did other people write in comparison?

foofighters · 10 Nov 2005, 2:39 PM

the reason i think the high court question may have been 4 marks is because it may have required a definition of its role (i think noted from previous reports). Maybe you had to say...established under s71 and jursidiction under s76 to hear constitutional disputes.

i thought the exam was good. i did question 8 and 10.

the juries quote was a bit vague - i decided to include the role of the jury in criminal cases just in case!

i wrote around 14 pages all together lol
