LAW121G Essay

Semester 2, 2024

Essay Topic

“In the New Zealand legal system, it is the executive branch of government that wields all the power, not parliament, the courts or ordinary New Zealand citizens.”

Write a 1000-word essay explaining the extent to which you agree or disagree with this statement. Make sure that you set out a clear argument and provide reasons to support your view.

Please note: there is no right or wrong answer to this question. Many people have different views on this issue. The task is for you to work out what you think and why.

In your essay, you must draw on the lectures and reading materials from the first four weeks of LAW 121G to support your argument.  You may also refer to the two recommended textbooks should you wish to (available on short loan from the law library).  You may not refer to any other sources outside the course.

Legal Essay Writing Guide

To help you work out how to write a law essay, a legal essay writing guide is available on Canvas. We will also talk about how to approach legal essay writing in the first and second clinics of the semester.

Footnoting

Your essay must comply with the New Zealand Law Style. Guide and you must ensure that you provide citations for every point that you make that comes from the readings. We have provided a short guide to help you with footnotes/citations. It is available on Canvas.
