Encounters: Meeting of Laws in Australia (LAWS50070) // Assessment

Additional details

• Research essay 7,000 words (90%). The overriding themes and approaches of this subject indicate an expectation that students' research essays will involve breadth and complexity in the design of their framing questions; demonstration of the acquisition of cross disciplinary methodological skills in locating and analysing a diversity of research materials; and cultural awareness in the articulation of their critical legal arguments. There is an expectation that research essays will be of a very high quality, opening up awareness for students of the possibility of future or further scholarly and legal engagements;
• Submission of research proposal, and work in progress presentation of that proposal in class (10%). Students will be expected to participate in a colloquia in order to present ideas and arguments outlined in a written research proposal; engage in informed and respectful critical debate with others about their work; and gain experience in oral defence of a short thesis.
