DISTINCTION LAWS1141 Notes

Description

These are extensive and highly detailed notes for the entire LAWS141 Principles of Public Law course. Notes are colour-coded and contain thorough case studies, all legal theorists discussed in the textbook, an exam answer scaffold, and a glossary with key terms. These notes were critical for achieving a Distinction overall mark. Notes are numbered and come with an index for easy navigation in the final exam. Spent over 100 hours curating and perfecting these - thank me later :) Covers all topics assessable in both the mid-term and final exam, including: - Constitutional Hybrid - The Rule of Law - Separation of Powers - The Evolution of the Westminster Constitution: (a) Responsible and representative government (b) Parliamentary sovereignty (c) Constitutional conventions - American Constitutional Inheritance: Federalism, Separation of Powers and Judicial Review - Australian Federalism - Popular Sovereignty - Indigenous and Crown Sovereignty - ATSIs, the Constitution and the Electoral Franchise - Drafting Australian Constitution, 1967 Referendum and Races Power - Statutory Interpretation Exam Scaffold - Principle of Legality - Legislature - Express and Implied Right to Vote - Executive - Judiciary - State Courts and Separation of Judicial Power - Rights Protection - Constitutional Change
