BULAW5911 Managing The Legal Environment

(a) Relevant textbooks

List at least three textbooks are useful.  Write down which chapters/pages appear relevant, where the text can be/was obtained, and BRIEFLY why the text will be useful.  You can also include texts that appeared to look useful (eg via their title) but which you have found are not - eg out of date?  

(b) Relevant academic journal articles

List at least two journal articles, with at least one being refereed (peer-reviewed).  These may include articles from journals found on electronic databases as well as paper journals.

In relation to each article, briefly comment on how it might be or is relevant to your selected issue and organisation.

If this is not explicit from the reference style, indicate where each journal article is available (ie. database name or library at which the journal is held).

(c) Other materials

You may find useful discussion papers, submissions made by industry bodies, reports, notes by individuals etc. from the internet or elsewhere.  PLEASE use the correct style for these:  See the University’s General Guide for the Presentation of Academic Work for assistance.

For each reference, please comment briefly on where and how you found it, why it is relevant and how authoritative it is.

(d) Cases and Legislation

List any cases that appear useful, where you found them and why they may be useful.  You are NOT expected to spend a large amount of time searching for case judgments eg via the Austlii database or to read long cases, although the CCH online library cases do have a summary headnote at the beginning you could use.  As much as possible, though, you should find cases from secondary sources (eg texts, journals).

List legislation that you have found to be relevant.
