CASE STUDIES >> cheating (1 Viewer)

What's the chance of getting busted for cheating case studies eg. making some bullshit up but not in the textbook,

Does the case studies HAVE TO be part of the text book?

If you make one up make sure you get it right.

A case must have Applicant v Respondant, in crime it is Regina v Accused, and if it is taken to the High Court it is Accussed v The Queen

I don't recommend it though, AdviceLine told me they have nearly all the textbooks on Legal Studies

 

[chloe8]

well of course you can make it up ?
it doesnt have to be from the text books
our teacher encourages new case studies instead of the same old ones from the textbook

The best students make up their cases if they can't think of one. But try and remember case studies as teachers will recognise the common ones and this will leave a good impression. However, there is nothing to say you haven't done your own research to find cases to support your argument.
The teachers don't have the textbooks in front of them, so as long as you don't make up something that is way out there, you should be ok.

What do you guys mean by case studies?

 

[adamj]

Actually Ms 12, teachers do have textbooks at the marking centre, if they are not sure of something they refer to the textbook, e.g. a student thinks the Crimes Act came into affect in 1903, a teacher will look to see if a textbook has written that.

bboy by case studies they mean real life legal cases so u can demonstrate a point ur making in ur essay... sorta like how u'd quote from ur text in an eng essay i guess.

Hmmm if u make up a case tho u haveta have realistic outcomes... and if u can remember realistic outcomes u should probably be able to remember real ones?

I was told by a senior marker that they don't, cos it wastes too much time.

AdviceLine told me otherwise, they said they do this because the law is technical and textbooks may vary in terms of their dates.

Well obviously if someone writes 'Crimes Act 1903' they are wrong. But I don't think they are too concerned with dates anyway. I mean if they are way off, yes, but they want to know that you know the acts, not the symantics of it all
