President of the Australian Tutoring Association and veteran legal studies tutor Mohan Dhall has revealed how to maximise marks in the Thursday afternoon legal studies exam.
CRIME PAYS
Thirty per cent of this course is focused on one topic: Crime. This means the students must know the syllabus detail of this topic very well as this detail will be assessed in the multiple choice section.More crucially though, students need to understand it is the written Crime question that is the single most important question in the paper. Why? Because it is the only extended piece of writing that every single candidate does. That is, it is the section on which a judgment can be made that is common to all students.

The implication of this is that students must be able to distinguish their answers in this section from others. Following the advice below will help in this regard. Please note: DO NOT default to a memorised answer that uses victims, offenders and society unless the question points to it.
KNOW THE CRITERIA
One of the ways to tackle the higher order questions in the paper which typically start with the word “assess” or “evaluate” is to use criteria. That is, making a judgment against one or more of the following: resource efficiency (or how expensive an intervention is), timeliness, reflecting community standards and expectations, upholding individual rights, enforceability, accessibility, being in line with the principles of the rule of law and so forth.This criteria can be applied to your extended response Options, to the Crime written response and to your contemporary Human Rights issue.
THESIS
When answering an extended response type question in Crime or the Options, you must have a thesis. This thesis should be understood by the marker within the first sentence or two of your response. Your thesis should be unambiguous. That is, take a position and argue consistently from that position. This means any quotes, references to legislation or media or other authority should support your position.
“MIXED” IS NOT EMPHATIC
When assessing the effectiveness of the law do not use the words, “of mixed effectiveness.” The law is either effective or it isn’t. It may be effective for some people but ineffective for others. For example, the law may protect the rights of the accused but undermine the rights of victims. Therefore, a preferred response would be, “the law is effective under some circumstances for the accused but has a negative effect on victims.” In this way rather than using the word “mixed” it is far clearer what the writer is arguing.
Reference to authority gives power to writing. Picture: istock
REFERENCE AUTHORITY
As with all pieces of writing, and especially in Legal Studies, reference to authority gives power to writing. Authority means referring to legislation, cases, media reports, international instruments, statistics as well as quotes from people in whom authority is vested such as the DPP. Even a short response can attract a high mark if it has appropriate reference to authority.LAW REFORM FOLLOWS THE LINE OF TIME
If you are given a law reform question, always follow the line of time. This brings cohesion and structure to your answers. By putting the law in date order, you show how the law has changed over time and therefore the effect of law reform in different areas of law. This should be your approach to structuring such questions.LEGAL AND NONLEGAL RESPONSES — WHAT WEIGHT?
Sometimes questions refer to legal and nonlegal responses and their effectiveness. If you are given such a question, spend about 2/3 of your time, or two paragraphs out of three writing, about the legal responses but only one third of your time or one paragraph out of three writing about the nonlegal responses. The most common error made by students is to give them both the same weight. Legal responses, being binding and attracting the criteria are far more important to write about than the nonlegal responses, which are persuasive but non-binding.STATE SOVEREIGNTY IS NOT ABSOLUTE: MYANMAR
It is common, but simplistic, for students to assert that as the State is its own highest authority it cannot be forced to do anything. While this may be the case with rather powerful states such as the USA and China, for many nations this is not true. By way of example note that Myanmar‘s exclusion from the recent ASEAN forum led it to release 5,500 detainees from arbitrary imprisonment. This alone indicates how “persuasion” can limit the unfettered right to sovereignty.HUMAN RIGHTS ARE ARGUABLY BEST PROTECTED AT IGO LEVEL WHERE THERE ARE COURTS
Most students assume there are only two levels of protection of human rights – the UN and the domestic level. This ignores arguably the most important level – the regional level. At the regional level there are regional courts that can protect individual rights. These include the European Court of Human Rights, the African Court of Human and Peoples Rights and the Inter American Court of Human Rights. As these courts are binding on member nations, they are far more likely to uphold human rights among member states than either the UN or domestic processes.More Coverage
