About the authors

Investigating Legal Studies for Queensland Third Edition provides accessible and engaging coverage of the new syllabus, delivered with a range of new tools to lead to QCE success.

What’s NEW in this edition:

  • Each syllabus topic is now covered in a single chapter, so that topic-specific content, summary notes, and activities, including exam-style questions, can be found in the one place.
  • Key Legal Studies skills are targeted with new content: ‘Strategies for writing effectively in Legal Studies’ and ‘Strategies for revision and tackling assessment tasks in Legal Studies’.
  • New engaging video content by co-author Anthony Marinac extend case studies and introduces students to important syllabus content.
  • New case studies include the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission v Dell Computers [2002] in Year 11 and Sharma v Minister for the Environment [2022] in Year 12.
  • Case studies, including recent and classic legal cases, are presented with additional scaffolding to help students unpack the legal issues of the case.
  • A new subheading included for each case study, ‘Obiter Dicta/something to think about’, draws out an engaging aspect of each case.
  • New concept maps are graphical representations of each topic and a useful revision tool.
  • New downloadable study cards help students understand the key things they need to know per topic.
  • The use of real legal terminology, along with a consistent approach to unpacking the citation for each case study helps embed legal concepts and prepare students for assessment scenarios.
  • A range of exam-style end-of-topic questions (Short-response, Extended response and Response-to-stimulus questions) help students become familiar with the types of questions they will encounter in their assessments, including the external exam.
  • New ‘Off the record’ breakout boxes provide additional legal items of interest.
