A Brief Summary of HSC Legal Studies Syllabus

The Legal Studies Syllabus consists of two core units (which the whole state completes) and two options.

The Two Core units are Human Rights and Crime. These two core units are tested through multiple choice and short answer sections of the exam. These core units make up 50 marks out of 100 for your taking.

The second half of the syllabus consists of two option topics. Which you are expected to write essays for (each worth 25 marks).

These options include:

1. Consumers
2. Global Environmental Protection
3. Family
4. Indigenous Peoples
5. Shelter
6. Workplace
7. World Order

I personally completed Consumers and World Order, so this blog will focus more heavily on those, but I will delve into the other options.

Thanks for reading.

Welcome to HSC Legal Studies

Hi and Welcome to My HSC Legal Studies Blog

I’ve done some searching and it appears there is no definitive HSC Legal Studies Resource on the Internet. Of the resources available they are half-hearted efforts and really of no use to the aspiring Legal Studies student.

In response I will be creating this blog to cover the Legal Studies HSC course to aid all students partaking in the course.

I myself have completed and achieved a Band 6 in Legal Studies in my own HSC and want to help others achieve the same.

Stay posted for the helpful articles to come. Feel free to ask questions in the comment section.
