Injustices in the Australian legal system: John Button

https://portfolio.ascollege.wa.edu.au/ashleigh.smith/files/2021/03/John-Button-re-type.docx

In this project, we learnt about the principles of justice that uphold Australia’s legal system, such as the equal treatment before the law, right to silence, innocent until proven guilty, right to appeal, and impartial judge and jury. I studied the case of John Button and analysed how these principles were both upheld and violated in this case. After writing an essay on the topic, we were required to incorporate feedback and edit the essay so that it was fit for online publication. This essay is the end result of that editing process. It demonstrates my ability to take feedback, and to refine a piece of written work to produce a professional result.
