About the authors

The most up-to-date resources available for VCE Legal Studies with updated case studies, legislative changes and statistics.

Cambridge Making & Breaking the Law VCE Units 1–4 2nd Edition reflects the increased emphasis on current legal issues; the ability of the justice system to uphold the principles of justice; the rights of individuals; the relationship between the Australian people, the Constitution and law-making bodies; the main influences on law reform; and the overall importance of being an active and involved citizen.

Comprehensively updated to include legislative changes and the latest data, this new edition ensures students have the most up-to-date information available to develop the knowledge and skills required for VCE success.
New case studies and news reports highlight relevant and contemporary examples to engage students and expose them to industry practice.
Practice exam questions at the end of each chapter have been carefully revised to progressively build the skills required for VCE success. Instructions on how to approach each question, including marks and recommended timing, help prepare students for their end-of-year exams.
An even greater variety of tables and graphic organisers, photos, clear diagrams and flowcharts support the written content and make the book accessible for all students.

Notes in the margin provide students with an ongoing summary of the key points of each topic, which can be used for revision.
