Assessment - Case Design Research Portfolio
Part A
Case research summaries - ULO1&4
You are expected to search for and write brief summaries of FIVE cases in relation to your selected topic. This part should be done in conjunction with Part B and C, as your case selection will be critical to the design of the HFS in Part B, and the legal analysis in Part C.
This part is a research exercise. You may use thetextbook as a guide, however reciting the case facts from the textbook will only gain you a pass mark for this part. In other words, students will be rewarded for going beyond the textbook.
Word count: Maximum 800 words
Part B Case Design - ULO 1,2&4
You are expected to design a HFS based on the cases that you have selected in Part A and any relevant legislation. The HFS should include facts that allow for the application of legal principles derived from the selected cases and any relevant legislation. This part should be done in conjunction with Part A and C, as your case design must contain facts that allow for the:
- Application of legal principles derived from the cases in Part A and any relevant legislation.
- Legal analysis in Part C.
This part is not a research exercise per se. Rather, it requires you to demonstrate your knowledge and understanding of how legal principles apply to any given HFS, through the design exercise.
Part C Legal Analysis - ULO 1,2&4
You are expected to apply legal reasoning skills to the HFS designed in Part B. Your legal analysis will include the application of the cases selected in Part A and other legal principles derived from legislation. The quality of your legal analysis will be reflected in the design of the HFS, and the relevance and correct application of the cases selected in Part A and any relevant legislation.
The legal analysis will be marked in accordance with the following criteria:
- Identification of the issues.
- Identification of the applicable legal rules(principles of law derived from cases (Part A) and statutes).

- Conclusion.

Part D
Critical reflection - ULO1,3&4
For this final part you are expected to write a critical reflection on the area of the law selected for your case design. The area of law you select for the HFS will likely determine the quality of your critical reflection, as some areas of the law are more contentious than others. Critically reflective writing requires students to demonstrate critical reading, thinking, and writing skills. You will be assessed according to the following criteria:
- Identification of legal and ethical issues.
- Identification of relevant laws that relate to the issues.
- Critical reflection of the legal/ethical issues and the laws that relate to those issues.
