Hey guys,

Have an assignment to do for constitutional law. We have to discuss Ryan v AG [1965] in light of TD v Minister for Education [2001] .

Any thoughts on where to begin? All views will be much appreciated!

Thanks guys!

Uno my Uno.

Rule 1 of legal discussion: No will do your homework for you.

You have two decisions to consider, perhaps you should start by reading the decisions?

Yeah, my plan would be:

1) Read the Judgments
2) Come up with your own critical anaylsis of same and make notes on the cases
3) Do some research of some journal articles through your colleges access to scholarly journals of these cases. Use these to back up your opinions
4) Google the topic/area for more info
5) See if any other cases could be tied into this area
6) Once you have all your reading material and some notes then come up with a plan of how to tackle the assignment - how many words is it, use harvard referencing, bibliography, have an intro, 2-3 main body discussion parts, a conculsion, decide what to put in these

Googled both cases and the first result was an article on these cases - http://www.jsijournal.ie/html/Volume%202%20No.%202/2%5B2%5D_Quinlivan&Keys_An%20Analysis%20of%20Sinnott.pdf

This is not a homework service, you should do your own research and dissection of a case/topic with the materials/resources at your fingertip. College isn't about handouts.

Above all, remember the question discuss Ryan v AG [1965] in light of TD v Minister for Education [2001] and make sure to address this.

+1 on the above except for use the referencing you've been instructed to use, if you don't know ask now.

Thanks, read the 2 cases.

It's a 10% assignment and can't be anymore than 2 pages at 1.5 line spacing, so I'm thinking that's approx. 600-700 words..

I just didn't know where to start and space is so limited, so the usual format of introduction, the main body, conclusion etc doesn't apply..

Of course it does. Just short versions.

dyona45

ok but it will be very short if that's the case, but cool thanks for that, will stick to the usual format then

I'm just concerned with getting the cases discussed in terms of the unenumerated rights and judges power to recognise these rights.... separation of powers doctrine etc

Sorry we're not allowed to give legal advice on here and technically speaking this could include advice on legal questions such as this. It's in the charter...

That is one of the most helpful replies I have read in years re assignments.

Suggest the mods here put it as a sticky at the top of this board
