The Essentials Workbooks are designed to support the teaching of SACE Stage 1 and 2 subjects in South Australia.

The SACE 1 Legal Studies Workbook 2nd Edition covers the updated SACE Subject Outline for Legal Studies. The semester-based workbook will be a comprehensive guide to tackling the updated course with a practical approach to conceptual theory, questions, sources and activities.

The SACE 1 Legal Studies Workbook has been structured as a one-semester teaching resource for SACE Stage 1 Legal Studies. Chapter One – Law and Communities is a compulsory focus area. An additional two option focus areas should be covered in a semester. A choice of four option topics have been provided in this book, however, there are a broad range of topics which could alternatively be developed and taught.

This workbook aims to provide a variety of content and learning activities to suit a range of student learning styles which can be present in the classroom. Each chapter contains a variety of online resources/clips supporting the written content, discussion points, collaborative activities, research activities and review activities.

This resource comes with complimentary digital access. The digital access code can be found on the inside front cover of the book, along with instructions on how to activate your digital access.
