LAW4177 Introduction to Family Law HD Comprehensive Exam/Semester Notes

Description

I completed this unit during the Winter period of 2024 and achieved a 85. These notes were instrumental in my success, serving as an excellent resource for both assignments and the final exam. These comprehensive notes include detailed explanations, exam tips, structured analysis processes, and answer templates, making them invaluable for navigating complex topics. The content is up-to-date with the 2024 legislative reforms, including the recent s60CC amendments. This information is essential, as previous notes from before Summer A 2023 do not cover these changes. In addition, for the Contested Parenthood (IVF) topic, I have included a thorough case analysis. This analysis goes beyond the typical lecture material and other notes. I focused on Family Dispute Resolutions for the Assignment so there is a lot of information regarding that here (extra research done too!), earning another HD. The notes provide both academic insights and practical understanding, further enhanced by knowledge I gained during Family Law Clinicals.
