Talk:LAW4225: Non-Adversarial Justice/@comment-118.138.59.204-20170515045826

Semester 2, 2016

The course was half taught by the lecturer, half by guest speakers from various non-adversarial justice services such as the Victorian Small Business Commission.

The content is mainly policy based, with minimal, if any, substantive law.

There is no real need to attend class as the assessments are based on the content in the reading guide. Furthermore, there is no real need to keep up with readings. I did not do readings and I only attended one lecture and the 'excursion' to the Magistrates' Court.

I used the reading guide as starting point on where to look when beginning my research for the assignment and the take home exam. However, general legal research skills are all that are required.

NAJ is a perfect subject for those who are overloading or unable to/don't attend class throughout the semester (like me).

For reference, I received an upper-end distinction for this subject with a full study load with the above study practices.
