    How many issues do you recommend talking about?

    4 - 6 small issues seems like a good number I think looking back at my trial essays (I didn't realise I had that many til I read over it it's not as impossible as you may think:)). Your topic "Dissolution of Marriage" I believe would cover more than one issue given that Shared Parenting itself...

    Prepared answers

    I personally don't think it is detrimental to memorise an essay prior to the exam if it has worked for you before, as long as you don't use your answer anyway if it doesn't relate to the question. I'm guessing any essay will probably be loosely relevant to the question, so as long as you still...

    2008 Law&society multiple choice

    Just in case you still wanted extra clarification : apparent bias is when your relationship with the plaintiff/defendent could be seen to affect your decision as an impartial (unbiased) judge. i.e. if one of the parties you are judging is your sibling, friend, business partner. It is when it...

    De facto new laws

    For De Facto relationships that have broken down on or after March 1st 2009 Commonwealth jurisdiction applies for nsw as per this amendment to the Family Law Act 1975 (Cwth). However, for relationships that broke down before March 1st are still covered by the Property (Relationships) Act 1999...

    Children’s Cases Program?

    To be honest I'd never even heard of that before:P I looked it up too, it seems to have been repealed for good. It was a pilot program anyway so if its alteration of court proceedings to favour the best interests of the child was not effective then that's probably why they didn't keep it...

    Writing student number on every page??

    Our supervisor stated that we are only allowed to write our student numbers inside the booklets during exam time. Outside the exam only writing the number on the front is permitted and the question number on the first page on the inside of the booklet if the supervisor is watching. You shouldn't...

    How many exams you got left to go?

    3. Physics then Legal Studies on the same day this Wednesday :O (9:25 am - 5pm day) A week later Society and Culture Apart from phys and legal my timetable has been spread reasonably nicely.

    Why? Is this normal?

    I would say this is absolutely normal, especially because the HSC is bound to be the most stressful exam period one faces thus far in their lives. Everyone copes differently with the stress of HSC exams and if you don't feel "good" straight after I don't think it makes a difference, especially...

    mandatory sentencing

    Would you be able to source whether it still exists? As far as I'm aware it was first modified to prevent juveniles (under eighteens) being treated under it and was then completely repealed and has remained so. Even though mandatory detention for refugees is still taking place for now I don't...

    Essay Writing Skills?

    As mentioned before, if you are going to suggest the setting is ironic you need to explain why it is ironic. Saying that is through the discordance of sounds doesn't really demonstrate to me much, first you need to clarify what the irony is, then you can say this is demonstrated through the...

    Hey if you’re wondering about getting a Legal Studies tutor here are the main reasons why I highly recommend Jeff: § Really extensive, in depth understanding of (and beyond) the syllabus and associated legal principles and focus areas § Systematic, logical and methodical approach whilst also...

    Should Muslim Holidays be recognised in Australia?

    I better acknowledge my personal bias here: I'm a Muslim. Thus, of course I believe it is ideal that Eid can be more predominantly recognised as a religious holiday in Australia:) Having said that, I don't believe that a public holiday for it is necessary at present. But I do believe it should...

    My teacher hates me.

    Hmm that really, really sucks. I think our teacher was really frustrating this year and always complained to us how we're the worst class he's ever had with alternating bouts of we're his favourite class. I guess it was different for us 'cause he was collectively aweful to our whole class and...

    just not caring.

    You're not the only one, especially after trials I feel kinda bummed out because I don't think Year 12 has been one of my favourite years of school and it seems like a dodgy way to leave 13 years of schooling. I think it's pretty common to feel apathetic for a while after exams, I mean I look...

    Mathematics dilemma...

    If you are genuinely unskilled at maths and its the only thing dragging you down perhaps it would be advisable to drop. I think this particularly applies if you aren't planning to do anything maths related in the future. But as others have mentioned, if this is only because you haven't been...

    My Subject Selection (yes another one)

    From what I remember, economics was more content heavy and a bit dry (but others found it insanely interesting) than particularly hard. I remember I grasped concepts pretty quickly and most stuff seemed really obvious (still not sure why I dropped it) although it took the person next to me maybe...

    How does Islam determine the aspirations and behaviours of individuals

    Well as a Muslim, I wouldn't really say Islam determines my aspirations but it certainly helps guide how I achieve what I want to achieve i.e. the appropriate behaviour in achieving personal aspirations. Like obviously behaviour is guided by fundamental principles like in many religions e.g...

    Ted and Sylvia

    Plath all the way! :) Maybe it's cause I'm a girl or something, but I heard about Plath before this topic and loved her poem 'Daddy' cos it was creepy but really evocative and raw. I respect that Hughes is an insanely good poet but he had like 30 more years to perfect his art and he comes of...
