RESOLVING CIVIL DISPUTES: DISTINCTION QUALITY ESSAY SCAFFOLDS

Description

Scaffolds for the essay portion of the LAWS2371: Resolving Civil Disputes Exam in Semester 1 2018. These scaffolds helped me gain a distinction in the final exam, and the subject. The topics covered in these scaffolds include a variety of topics covered in previous exams and topics I anticipated may be asked in the Semester 1 2018 exam: 1. The role of lawyers in providing Pro Bono Work 2. The intersection of the practice of law and the business of law (Law as a profession vs. business) 3. The role of technology in litigation: AI, Online Dispute Resolution and Electronically Stored Information 4. Case Management: Rationale behind an 'overriding purpose' approach to litigation 5. Increasing Accessibility to Litigation for Disadvantaged Groups: Pro Bono assistance, litigation funding and class actions, community legal centres 6. Costs in Civil Litigation and Ensuring Justice
