Case Study / Research Report - 25% Weighting

Refer to the http://courses.highered.tafensw.edu.au for the specific requirements of this assessment task.

This assessment involves complex scenarios involving multiple areas of law requiring in depth analysis, problem solving and judgement with reward for the use of properly referenced academic and other independent sources beyond those presented in tutorials

All submissions must address both Part A & B.

In-text citations must be in the Harvard AGPS style. A single Harvard AGPS Reference List at the end of the submission should include all relevant references cited in both questions.

Students should note the PDF file on acceptable legal abbreviations, available on the Moodle.

Students should note the word limits for each question, and the need to write concisely. Responses must be within 10% +/- of each word limit. Students must clearly state the word count for each question, on their cover page. Note that the reference list and footnotes (if any) does not form part of the word count.

Students are encouraged to start writing early; editing typically takes more time than writing.
