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.
