Year 11 Legal Studies

Supreme court

On Thursday 15 August, Year 11 Legal Studies students visited the Supreme Court and State Parliament House in Sydney. The students were fortunate to see the case of R v Singh [2019] NSWSC. Professor Peter Maitz was the expert witness on the stand and the Legal studies students were riveted, listening to him going through examination-in-chief from the Prosecution barrister and then cross-examination from the Defence. We then visited State Parliament and took part in a role play which demonstrated how our laws were made. It was a wonderful day which helped students connect the theory being learned in class to how the legal system impacts on the lives of individuals in the real world.
