Australian Law School Super GPT-AI-powered legal assistant for law students.

Example

A student struggling to understand the *ratio decidendi* in a High Court case can ask for a breakdown of the case reasoning. The GPT will explain not only what the ratio is but how it interacts with the facts and issues of law involved. This is particularly helpful in assignments requiring case analysis.

Scenario

A student preparing for a moot court competition needs to differentiate between binding precedent and obiter dicta. The GPT can explain, using examples from landmark Australian cases, how judges define these elements and how future courts interpret them.

Example

A student needs to reference case law for an assignment on constitutional law. The GPT can guide the student to relevant cases in *AustLII* and highlight key passages from judgments.

Scenario

While writing a research paper on implied constitutional rights, a student requires key High Court decisions. The GPT can provide excerpts and summaries from significant cases such as *Theophanous v Herald & Weekly Times Ltd* and *Lange v Australian Broadcasting Corporation*.

Example

A student writing a legal memo can ask the GPT to structure their argument using the IRAC (Issue, Rule, Application, Conclusion) method. The GPT can help draft each section, offering suggestions on how to frame legal issues and arguments effectively.

Scenario

During exam preparation, a student drafts practice responses to hypothetical scenarios involving contract law. The GPT provides feedback on issue spotting, application of legal principles, and clarity of writing, ensuring alignment with legal reasoning norms.

Example

For exam preparation, the GPT can simulate past exam questions, providing detailed responses or critiques of the student’s answers. It can focus on key areas, such as torts or constitutional law, helping students grasp common pitfalls and best practices.

Scenario

A law student preparing for a final exam in criminal law needs help reviewing key principles of mens rea and actus reus. The GPT can offer hypothetical fact scenarios and guide the student through legal analysis using Australian cases such as *R v Lavender*.

Example

A student working on a moot problem can request guidance on the procedural steps for a civil trial in NSW. The GPT can outline the roles of each party, filing deadlines, and important procedural rules from the *Local Court Bench Book*.

Scenario

A student is writing a research paper on procedural fairness in NSW civil litigation. They ask the GPT to explain the rules governing discovery and pre-trial motions, using specific references to the *Civil Procedure Act 2005 (NSW)*.

Example

A student unfamiliar with the term *contra proferentem* can request a definition and example. The GPT can provide both the technical meaning and a practical illustration from an Australian contract law case.

Scenario

In a contracts law assignment, a student is asked to apply the doctrine of *contra proferentem*. The GPT explains this principle with reference to Australian High Court decisions such as *Darlington Futures Ltd v Delco Australia Pty Ltd*, ensuring the student understands how to apply the rule.
