1. Kirandeep Kaur's
Criminal Law Assessment Reflection
Journal Level 4
This journal is designed for me to record all my self reflections which link to the
skills module in the contract assessment I have completed.
The summative assessment for this module is:
1) Oral presentation 'Moot' 10 mins (20%) - Spring term
2) Closed book examination 3 hours (80%) - Summer Term

2. Seminar 5 - formative assessment
exam
• This seminar required me to be under exam
conditions and attempt an question timed for
40 minutes.

3. Feedback from formative assessment
• I received audio feedback and received a
grade of 2:2 for my answered exam question.
Improvements could have been made on my
use of analysis and better use of definitions
used in my answer. For this I will use online
sources such as Westlaw to find better an
valid definitions when explaining the use of
principle reasons to come to the answers set
in the exam.

4. Preparing for moot
• As in my previous posts under the journal activities outside
university related to my law course, I have taken part in various
moots to improve my advocate mooting skills and court equity as
part of my criminal summative assessment. I am also researching
and viewing YouTube clips of moots so I am fully prepared for the
moot. I am looking forward to more information and schedule of
when the moot will take place and on what subject so I can start
researching and preparing for the summative assessment. The
practise moots I have been having through mentor moot and the
internal moot have helped me to understand in order to do well in
the criminal moot assessment research and preparation on
submissions is important whereas in the skills moot assessment I
will be tested on my court equity which I am also prepared for.

5. Summative Moot
• I have completed my summative moot and feel I have
answered the criminal aspects of the moot well. My
argument was against the appeal for the defence of
necessity to murder following the guidelines of the case Re
A (Children) as I was the junior respondent. I researched
through various textbooks, journal articles and case law to
ensure I had a strong argument to support me achieving a
good grade in this moot to support my skills aspects of the
moot which was focused on advocacy. The research tasks in
skill prepared me to have strong arguments for the point of
law discussed in the criminal aspect of the moot. My use of
research skills have developed from the legal research
component with my familiarity of accesses online journals.
