Research assignment (30%)

Students are asked to respond to a request within the Federal Department of Employment and Workplace Relations to prepare a research paper in response to several questions, which raise issues covered in Weeks 1 to 4 of the course.

Students are asked to write a short research paper (1,500 words maximum, including all footnotes, headings and quotations), summarising the relevant employment law issues associated with particular questions asked, and to share their views on whether they agree or disagree with the position(s) taken in respect of those questions.

Students are required to present their research paper as a truly evidence-based evaluation of the ideas presented. With this in mind, students must thoroughly support their argument by using primary and secondary sources.

Research essay (70%)

Students are asked to select a specified research question to address in essay form (3,500 words maximum, including all footnotes, headings and quotations). The topics for the proposed research questions will be taken from throughout the course.

The purpose of this research essay is to evaluate students’ ability to research and critically evaluate arguments and literature on the identified issues from throughout the course.

Students’ research essays are required to:

• be written in prose style (using complete sentences), adhere to grammatical rules and use correct spelling;
• be structured in a logical and coherent manner;
• refer to appropriate secondary sources, including a selection from beyond the prescribed readings for this course, in support of views and arguments;
• have a clear and helpful introduction, which introduces the issues to be discussed, outlines the central question(s) to be examined, and foreshadows the structure of the essay;
• place the issues to be addressed in a logical sequence;
• place the greatest emphasis on the most significant issues (ie, spend more time on important issues than on matters less worthy of attention);
• use headings and subheadings, if necessary, to improve the structure of the essay, and to signpost the essay to assist the reader; and
• have a conclusion, in which the threads of the argument are drawn together, and an overarching conclusion is stated.

Word limits

Students must adhere to the word limit for each assignment. Word limits include all words in the text, in headings, and in footnotes, but not in any separate bibliography appended to a research essay. 5% of the total mark possible will be deducted for every 10% (or part thereof) by which the assignment exceeds the word limit.

Electronic submission

All assessment items must be submitted electronically through MyUni, and may be checked for plagiarism. Students must retain a copy of all submitted assignments.

Assignments must be written in prose style (using complete sentences), adhere to grammatical rules, and use correct spelling. All written work in the Adelaide Law School is required to comply with The 最新糖心Vlogn Guide to Legal Citation (4^th ed), which is available at .

Where an assignment is not submitted by the due date, 5% of the total mark possible will be deducted for every day (that is, a period of 24 hours commencing at the due time of submission) or part thereof that the assignment is late.

Lex Salus Program

Lex Salus (law and wellbeing) is an initiative of the Adelaide Law School aimed at destigmatising mental health issues; promoting physical, mental and emotional wellness; building a strong community of staff and students; and celebrating diversity within the school. It also seeks to promote wellness within the legal profession, through the involvement of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of South 最新糖心Vlog, the Honourable Chris Kourakis, as the official Patron of the program.

Students can participate in the Lex Salus program by attending barbecue lunches, pancake breakfasts, knitting and crochet circles, seminars, guest speakers, conferences and other activities. Our , and regular all-student emails promote upcoming events, and have tips and information on wellness.

Our Lex Salus YouTube channel also includes videos on topics like managing stress, and interviews with LGBTQ lawyers and their supporters which celebrate diversity and individuality.

Academic Integrity

All students must be familiar with the 最新糖心Vlog’s Academic Integrity Policy. Academic Misconduct is a serious matter and is treated as such by the Law School and the 最新糖心Vlog. Academic Misconduct (which goes beyond plagiarism) can be a ground for a refusal by the Supreme Court of South 最新糖心Vlog to admit a person to practice as a legal practitioner in South 最新糖心Vlog. Academic Integrity is an essential aspect of ethical and honest behaviour, which is central to the practice of the law and an understanding of what it is to be a lawyer.
