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.
