    Active v passive voice in legal essays?

    When writing any essay, use active voice. Example: "The Bail Amendment Act 2007 NSW ineffectively protects the rights of young offenders" as opposed to "the rights of young offenders are ineffectively protected by the Bail Amendment Act 2007 NSW" The former sentence is the better sentence.

    UNSW LAW - ATAR below cutoff of 99.65 and still got in???

    I think the point someth1ng was making (correct me if I'm wrong) was in respect to a specific set of people he knew rather than making a generalisation. Which I can confirm is true of more than the subset of people he knows. Not to say that it is true of every 10k+ scholarship recipient, but in...

    HELP!! Essay Question

    Caramel Macaron has pretty much nailed it so I'll try add a few points from my W.O essay that weren't mentioned: - Case of Omar Al Bashir rejecting the jurisdiction of the ICC, as pointed out in “ICC can 'eat' his arrest warrant” (Telegraph) 2011", is a nice case to use to demonstrate the...

    The use of media articles for Human Rights

    In the 2012 HSC, the Contemporary Issue question solely focused on Media for 5 Marks. But with relevant cases and legislation, you can definitely access full marks for a 6 or 7 marker, provided you answer the question thoroughly. But if integrating a Media Report supports your argument or bulks...

    HSC marks help

    To add to Ustritsa: Since you are the only MX2 person in your cohort, your raw marks are completely irrelevant as you are automatically ranked 1. However, that means your internal and external HSC marks will be the same, and are solely dependent on your MX2 external performance. So don't worry...

    How do you study 2u mathematics?

    A nice little trick I used for 4u (and definitely applicable to 3u) is to write up a chart of commonly seen questions. From there, have arrows pointing do the different methods of solving each particular question. This becomes really useful as you will notice your ability to problem solve and...
