REMARKS
Learning Objectives
 This coursework test students understanding and appreciation of the law as it requires students to read,
understand, summarize and extract the important issues from actual cases.
 This coursework tests students research abilities as a good answer will require students to look into the
actual wording of the legislations, the Hansard, other research papers behind the provisions, books and
actual cases, and keep all of this current.
 Multiple secondary sources of the law need to be looked into for the students to gather the required
information.
 There is a word limit imposed. This will encourage students to articulate themselves in a concise and
precise manner, thus developing a very important and useful skill every legal practitioner needs.
 The main ideas that go into this coursework are available in any reference book. It simply is a matter of
understanding the question and framing the coursework strategically.
