Scenario:
You are a volunteer at the Cordelia Legal Centre in South Brisbane, a community organisation which provides free legal advice, assistance and referral to the general public.
On Monday morning 5 April 20XX, you have a new client come into your office. The client, Sharon Rock, is concerned about some issues in her local area of Sandgate. Sharon advises you that there are a number of ‘hoons’ driving around her neighbourhood late at night, disturbing the peace and quiet. She is concerned about the comfort and safety of the residents, and of the drivers themselves. Sharon has asked you to provide some general information on how she might go about pursuing the hoons issue. Sharon believes that the police need to bring in new laws to stop the hoons in Sandgate. She also wants to know if there are any other organisations that can help out. Assume Sharon has no knowledge of the legal system in Australia, or the law making process.
At the conclusion of the interview, you inform Sharon that you will do some research on these issues and send her an email with all the relevant information. Sharon has provided you with the following email address: Sharon.Rock@zmail.com.
When writing your email of advice to Sharon, ensure you address the following:
1. Explain the rule of law. In your explanation, explain the relation to the separation of powers between the judiciary, executive and the legislature, with an emphasis on the independence of the judiciary.
2. Explain the six (6) stage process which must be undertaken for legislation to be passed in Queensland. Ensure you explain what a bill is and who can introduce a bill.
3. Discuss how the Queensland Police Service may assist with this issue through measures such as deterrence. You will also need to identify if there is any existing legislation to deal with the issue of hooning. You should also include in your email your advice to Sharon regarding the role of the community in maintaining peace and order, for example, Neighbourhood Watch.
4. Provide advice regarding 3-5 community groups where Sharon can express her concerns and receive advice and assistance. Ensure you include their name, contact details, roles/aims, and how they can assist Sharon.
NOTE: These community groups should not include the police or Neighbourhood Watch, as they should already be addressed in Question 3.
Hint: You also need to ensure that you write clearly in your email and explain any difficult topics/concepts, as Sharon does not have any prior knowledge of how the Australian legal system operates.
Format for email: This is a professional email. You need to comply with the formalities usually found in a letter. Please use the following template. The text in red has been included to assist you, therefore you must delete this text and fill in the appropriate information when writing your email.
Professional email template:
Date: [insert date]
To: Sharon.Rock@zmail.com
From: [insert your name]
Subject: [insert an appropriate subject line]
[Salutation] Dear Ms Rock
[Body of email: This is where you need to provide your detailed advice by addressing the assessment questions above. You should use appropriate headings as well, to allow for easy reading by the recipient]
[Signature block: This is an example only – you should fill in your own name and student number]
Yours faithfully
