LAW4177 Introduction to Family Law HD (85) Exam/Semester Notes

Description

This unit was completed over Summer Semester A in 2023. I achieved a HD (85) for this unit with the help of these notes. These notes will not only help you in the exam, but also provide some practical understanding in a few topics which I also picked up through Family Law Clinicals. Explainantion, exam tips, analysis process, and answering templates are provided in the notes. These notes include legislation reforms in 2024 which are the new s60CC amendment repeals which notes previous to Summer A 2023 do not provide for. In the topic of Contested Parenthood (IVF), I provide a deeper analysis than the lecture or other notes will of the relevant cases as I did my research assignment on it and got a HD.
