Law in Context BJU150

This unit involves an overall view of Australian law and it's development from settlement until now. Fairly easy unit with one major assignment, a test and the exam. Focuses a lot on settlement and the beginnings of law in Australia.

Assessments
One of the assessments involved a pairs assignment in which you have to attend some trials. Tip, if you don't have time/can't be bothered actually attending trials, go onto the supreme court/magistrates etc website and look up case names instead. This assignment revolves around you talking about your views and feelings towards the justice system, rather than actually commenting on cases. I had real case names and facts, but the rest I made up and still got top marks. This assignment is easy, but just be careful who your partner is.

Workload
The overall workload of this unit is pretty light, tutorials are easy as most of them involve discussions about ideas rather than actual questions of Law.

Overall Positives
Interesting and enjoyably unit, plus the lecturer is super nice and really helpful.

Overall Negatives
Focused on native title and tribal law a little too much, can feel like a bit of a social justice overload.

Feel free to add any other sections you feel are relevant.
