Principles of Public Law Exam Notes

Description

These exam notes cover the foundations and complexities of public international law and domestic public law, with a focus on the nature and role of the state, sovereignty, and citizenship. They examine key legal sources like customary international law and treaties, explore the organs of the United Nations, and discuss international human rights frameworks. Australian perspectives are integrated throughout, including constitutional principles like federalism, executive and legislative power, judicial review, and the rule of law. The notes also consider how international law interacts with domestic law, particularly through treaty implementation and statutory interpretation. Various hypothetical essay topics and landmark cases are included to support exam preparation and critical analysis.
