Victorian Law Reform Commission Visit

The Year 11 and Year 12 Legal Studies class had the pleasure of Mr Nick Gadd visit from the Victorian Law Reform Commission visit on Friday 24th August to discuss the role of the Victorian Law Reform Commission (V.L.R.C.) which is part of the Unit 4, Area of Study 2 of the study design.

Mr Gadd explained the specifics of the V.L.R.C. including the research that informs their decisions before discussing with the class recent projects such as Funeral and Burial Rights Reference, Medicinal Cannabis Reference and the report tabled in Parliament in December of 2017 regarding Victims of Crime in the Criminal Trial Process (including those who give evidence under 18 years of age and or have an intellectual disability.)

The classes were privileged to have Mr Gadd visit and certainly benefited from his breadth of first hand knowledge on the V.L.R.C.
