Additional Advice:
Referencing:
Appropriate referencing, particularly of cases and law materials, is vital and good work will have a reference list (of cases, legislation and other sources) for all material used in the text, plus a bibliography of all materials which have been accessed and read, even if not actually quoted in the text itself.
Word Count: The bibliography and reference list should not be included in the word count.
Pay attention to Learning Outcomes: Students should consider to what extent they have demonstrated the learning outcomes in their answer, as this is a key criterion for a successful assessment result.
Structure: The answer should be in report format, with clear headings, paragraphs and numbering where appropriate. The reports should, as a minimum, have the following sections (and possibly convenient sub-sections dealing with the issues raised):
a) Introduction: A very brief outline of the key issues, background/situation in scenario etc. Do not just repeat the facts of the question.
b) Findings: An analysis of the legal position should be included, using legislation and case law to define the issues involved on both sides.
c) Conclusions: What the legal position is believed to be.
d) Recommendations: What the company needs to do now - in the short term and long term.
