Issue

Application Made Easy
For every head of power and constitutional right, the guide gives examples of valid and invalid legislation from the cases, helping you judge which side your assessment problem is closer to.
Knowing the Law Is Not Enough.
You Need to Know How to Answer the Question.
You can spend weeks studying constitutional law and still freeze when you open an assignment question or exam paper.
You've learnt the facts of a pile of cases. You remember something about the corporations power, external affairs or freedom of political communication.
But then comes the difficult part:
-
What are all the legal issues in this question?
-
Which head of power/s applies?
-
What test do I use?
-
How do I convert pages of notes into a brief summary of law?
-
What order should I discuss everything in?
-
How much law do I need to state before I start applying it?
-
Which facts actually matter?
-
Have I missed anything?
That uncertainty costs time, creates stress and can leave you writing everything you know instead of answering the question you were actually asked.
This eBook written by a lecturer in law with 15 years teaching experience is designed to solve that problem.

From Endless Reading to Clear Answers
Constitutional law can feel like endless work with very little progress. You spend hours studying dense textbooks and difficult High Court judgments, only to finish more confused than when you started.
Lectures often cover huge amounts of law, but give far less guidance on how to actually use that law in an assignment or exam. You keep studying, reading and taking notes, yet still do not know how to approach an assessment question, what law to include, or how to structure your answer.


That is what makes constitutional law so stressful. It is not just the amount of law. It is the feeling that all those hours of study are not getting you any closer to knowing how to answer the assessment.
This Study Guide is different from lectures or any textbook. Outdated, overturned and irrelevant law is stripped away. What remains is the current law you actually need, organised into clear, step-by-step structures for each head of power and express and implied right.
Complex High Court cases are reduced to a few useful sentences showing what legislation was upheld, what was struck down, and why. Instead of spending hours trying to extract the point from a judgment, you have examples ready to use in your own analysis.
With the help of the Study Guide, the difference is immense. You read the question and know where to start. You know what law to include, how much to write, which cases to use and how to move from the legal test to application. You know what facts to look for, which cases are important, and can begin writing as soon as you read the question.
And because the law summaries are already done for you, you save enormous amounts of time in the exam. You don't have to be flipping through pages of notes to try and construct the test for a head of power while the clock is ticking. That means more time to analyse the facts. More time to finish every question. And a far better chance of producing the kind of structured, legally supported answer that earns high marks.
