This subject explores thinking, reading, researching and writing with the law and
legal materials. It introduces students to the two core sources of law - case law
and legislation - and their interrelationship, as well as related topics such as court
hierarchies, the doctrine of precedent, and statutory interpretation. The subject
develops legal, ethical and technological literacy and provides a range of skills
and knowledge required for legal writing, research and problem solving.
Tutorial attendance is mandatory in this subject. A student who fails to attend at
least 70% must meet with the Associate Dean of Learning and Teaching and provide evidence
as to why he or she should be permitted to sit the final exam or submit the final
assessment task.
