Up to and including the Summer Semester 2004-05 the subject of Practice and Procedure involved an examination of the Supreme Court Act 1970 (NSW) and the Supreme Court Rules (NSW). This gave a basis for understanding civil litigation in the Supreme Court of NSW, and also an essential understanding to the conduct of civil litigation in the District Court of NSW and in the Local Court in NSW. However, in relation to practice as a legal practitioner if a matter was to be conducted in, say, the District Court, the practitioner would have needed to know the provisions of the District Court Act 1973 (NSW) and the District Court Rules. Similarly, a matter in the Local Court would have required the application of the Local Court (Civil Claims) Act 1970 (NSW) and the Local Court Rules. As a consequence of the introduction in 2005 of the Civil Procedure Act and Uniform Civil Procedure Rules, there is much greater uniformity in procedures applicable to these various levels of courts in their civil jurisdiction. It is essential, generally, for all students to regularly access the LEC Webcampus to ascertain any additional material as and when it becomes available, especially references to relevant Practice Notes. ASSESSMENT To be eligible to sit for the Board’s examinations, all students must complete the LEC teaching and learning program, the first step of which is to ensure that you have registered online with the LEC in each subject for which you have enrolled with the Board. This gives you access to the full range of learning resources offered by the LEC. Then, students must achieve a satisfactory result in a compulsory assignment of at least 1500 words or as prescribed. |
