Criminal Law A

The aim of this subject is to give the student an appreciation of the sources and development of the common law, equity and our legal institutions. The way in which the law has developed as society has changed and has adapted to differing demands and circumstances provides the key to a proper understanding of the law in its modern environment. It will trace the development of legal ideas and disciplines from English history around 1066 to modern day Australia. Historical development of the law will be examined through such topics as the on-going relationship between the common law and equity, the contribution of Christianity in general to the development of the law and the legal aspects of British settlement of Australia, Legal History gives us an insight into how and why our legal system today is what it is. It gives us the opportunity to trace our origins and developments to obtain a better understanding of what the legal profession is and how we are a part of it.

Legal History

This subject introduces students to a critical understanding of the institutions and practices that are basic to the law in Australia. This subject provides a foundation for later courses, both in its content and its method of teaching, within the context of legal problem solving. Students will be encouraged to reflect critically on aspects of the legal system, which includes an introduction to the historical and philosophical sources of such elements as the adversarial system, the structure of courts and tribunals and the roles of lawyers and judges. This subject also introduces students to the key principles of, and approaches to, statutory interpretation, which is an essential legal skill.
