I was planning an essay for a question asked in 2003 hsc:
'compliance with the law is necessary to achieve justice for all.'
i realised it was tricky so i looked at the examiner's comments on the BOS site. Discussing AVOs, child support i can understand. But the examiner also said this:
"Better responses dealt with compliance issues at a number of different levels. Firstly, there was the notion of the foundation principles of modern Family Law, ie no-fault divorce, the paramount concern for children, and the movement away from an adversarial approach to an approach that focuses on Primary Dispute Resolution. Better responses were able to highlight the change in legislation and case law that embodied these principles. These responses were also able to successfully link the above with the justice outcomes expected by the law and changing community standards."
Now what does no-fault divorce etc, and changing community standards have to do with issues of compliance with family law?
Also, is there any benefit in choosing the question that you know most candidates wont choose - it seems to me the examiners always have a lot of praise for them...
