This assessment item requires students to respond to a case study of law reform in Australia. The assessment is worth 40 marks for a total of 40% of the course. Students will be provided with an example of recent legislative change, and they will be required to respond to a series of short-answer questions. The questions will test core knowledge of law and government in Australia and the impact of the law on key rights and concepts such as justice and the rule of law. The questions will be available on the Learning@Griffith page early in the trimester so students will have ample time to complete the report. This year, the law reform report is based on a Bill introduced earlier this year with respect to amendments of counter-terrorism. This item will be assessed on the following basis: 1. Demonstrated knowledge of relevant government processes and institutions 2. Quality of research and critical analysis 3. Appropriateness of writing style and referencing skills
