Just wondering how many issues and remedies you are going to include in your essays?

My teacher says know 3, but know them all in general just in case it specifies for a certain one (e.g. dissolution of marriage)

ima looking at 2 in depth (domestic violence, same sex relationships) and i have quite a few remedies with the effectivness of them ready to go.

Ill be shitty if they specify a certain one, but it should be ok, i know the course generally, like the most important legislation etc, so i can milk a couple of paragraphs out of that.

Yea il probably make a quick stop at bunnings on my way home to pick up a rope if they specify something ..

I've got domestic violence too, dissolution of marriage and birth techonology
i have a gut feeling they might say birth tech cos it hasnt been asked before.

ARGH I HATE LEGAL =]

'legal issues & remedies' is apart of the legal studies syllabus.
so essentially the body of ur essay is made up of it ...
e.g.
LEGAL ISSUE: dissolution of marriage
LEGAL REMEDY: Family Law Act 1975, introduction of 'no fault divorce' thus overriding the Matrimonial Causes Act 1959 etc

Hmm... i always thought u should know all of them, cause looking at the past couple years for the essays, it seems there is always a question dealing with alternate family arrangements....

lets just hope thats the same this year, cause ive spent a heaps on that part and hopefully it will pay off...

I guess its better to know genreally all the points in the section, because i havnt seen a question that directly identifies one part...

GoodLUCK...4 hours to go...
