    • 3 Pages

    Administrative Law, Trimester 2, 2012 Assignment Question „[The] statutory “no evidence” ground of judicial review is both wider and more specific than was the case with “no evidence” grounds for judicial review at common law.‟ Justice Kirby, Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs v Rajamanikkam [2002] 210 CLR 222, at [111]. Of the judgments in Rajamanikkam, which do you prefer, and what justification can you provide for your preference? In answering the question, you should read the following three prescribed cases.

    Apple's Siri Analysis

    • 1017 Words
    • 5 Pages

    The article introduces the Siri---a voice controlled virtual personal assistant from Apple that relies on artificial intelligence, about how it works as a search engine. The author uses a small study at The Arora Report to analyze Siri may change people’s habit. The new habit will be using voice to find exactly what one wants without having to comb through a large number of results, some of which may not be relevant. This article also indicates that Siri searches information by asking a question in ordinary language and quickly finding the answer; it makes Google search look like a horse and buggy compared to a car. The problem for Google is that it makes most money from the most common searches. It is only a matter of time before Siri shifts search revenues from Google to Apple.…

    Hong Kong Legal System

    • 815 Words
    • 4 Pages

    questions addressed: HK sources of law, jury service and reciprocity between the HKSAR and PRC legal systems. The examination was held over two hours and written on a closed book basis. As with past exams, the examiners prepared a list of factors in advance of the examination that were relevant to answering each question. Thus, to answer the questions successfully, candidates needed to address a majority of those factors and to do so in a in a structured and relevant manner. Candidates should have also been able to express themselves in a clear and succinct manner. In order to answer the questions satisfactorily, candidates needed to have been able to cite relevant sources of law and/or major commentators in each area, as appropriate. The overall standard was not very good and was, impressionistically, not as good as in previous sessions. There were a very small number of papers that could be said to have attained even a very good, let alone excellent, standard. The vast majority were at the level of a very bare pass. On the whole, the same reasons for the poor standard of performance were present as in previous sessions: lack of relevant knowledge, lack of comprehension of the scope and parameters of each question, failure to address the question adequately either by directing material to answer the specific question or by responding to only one part of the question, and an inadequate standard of written English necessary to clearly communicate a response to the question. However, on this occasion it seemed that these factors had a detrimental impact on the performance of a wider group of candidates.…
