Luckly, the only thing my teacher taught us, were how to do these essays.
He said you do an into, with everything your going to talk about, then for each paragraph in the body, use the acronym F.A.C.E or FACTS, ACTS, CASES, EVALUATION.
its fairly straight forward, so for every point you talk about, talk about the facts about it, the government legislation, specific to that point, any know cases to back you up, then evaluate the effectiveness. It sounds like quite a good system.
now if only i had the required course knowledge
