Learning Objectives
This coursework test students understanding and appreciation of the law as it requires
students to read, understand, summarize and extract the important issues from actual
cases.
This coursework tests students research abilities as a good answer will require students
to look into the actual wording of the legislations, the Hansard, other research papers
behind the provisions, books and actual cases, and keep all of this current.
Multiple secondary sources of the law need to be looked into for the students to gather
the required information.
There is a word limit imposed. This will encourage students to articulate themselves in a
concise and precise manner, thus developing a very important and useful skill every
legal practitioner needs.
The main ideas that go into this coursework are available in any reference book. It
simply is a matter of understanding the question and framing the coursework
strategically.
