Dear all,
I am a student in Taylors College Subang Jaya, Malaysia. For my undergraduates studies - my subject studies (Legal Studies) - I have to do a legal research topic. My chosen topic was "Should judges have more investigatory powers in the justice system?" As a general rule, my research applies to Australia's judiciary, but I think it's a general enough question to be asked.
This is not an attempt to plagarize. My research specifies that to "prove I participate in the legal system", I have to either a) visit a courthouse, b) interview a lawyer, or c) join a forum discussion on my subject.
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, bearing in mind that this forum appears to concentrate more on politics than law. However, any help would be greatly appreciated. My deadline is 30th June 2006.
In law, there are two systems of justice - either the inquisitorial (used in France, Germany and Italy), or adversary model. Australia uses the adversary model however. Therefore I'd like to ask your opinions - if Australia should use the inquisitorial model instead, and the benefits and drawbacks to it.
Alternately, if anyone could pinpoint me to other online resources (book reviews, reports, etc, even more suitable forums), I'd be very thankful.
Thanks,
