And let's see the results!
And once you've submitted it and had some feedback, why don't you post the product of all your efforts up here? Of course it's entirely up to you, and pruners can be a pretty harsh crowd, but if it could inspire some intelligent discussion then it would have to be worth it...
I for one would certainly appreciate seeing the discussion take place and your efforts would have my support, whether I disagree with the conclusions or not. I am more interested in the discussion than who's right or wrong.

Wouldn't be thinking a 2000 word essay would be a good thing to post on here, BUT perhaps salient points could be discussed ..
Do you have to do the footnote yaddy yadda thing Tiger? Don't forget plagiarism is a hanging offence in legal writing stuff!

Aviation law and potential reform, that's a big ask!
As suggested, a search of AAT hearings linked with CASA should provide interesting reading.
At times, CASA appear to be able to operate outside of the Australian Constitution and sometimes seem to show a little contempt for due process.
Many CASA staff in the past indulged in the practice of interpreting policy as legislation, which is definitely not.
CASA, in many documented cases, have not been entirely truthful in some matters.
CASA used to want to name and shame targeted operators, even before the legal process was completed.
BB, much to his credit, has assisted a lot of the wrongdoers to find alternative careers outside of CASA.
CASA, to the best of my knowledge, has never proceeded with charges of misconduct in its own ranks.
CASA, to the best of my knowledge, has never named and shamed one of their own wrongdoers, as they were so desirous of doing to targeted operators.
CASA has brought their most dysfunctional offices into line, but did not name any of the misfits.
I think you may have picked a difficult theme with aviation and law, I'm sure there are easier pickings out there.

G'day Tiger
It looks like I'm in the same boat as you. I'm currently half way through my Year 12 Legal Studies assignment and the task seems identical to yours.
I was also looking for an aviation related issue and I've chosen to write about the issue of laser pointers and aircraft.
Perhaps you could consider this topic... There's quite a bit of info on the net, as it's a recent issue and the aforementioned austlii database has the details regarding the case against Lanfranco Baldetti who was sent to prison.

Maybe you could look at the effects of fatigue and the legal obligations by the airlines to manage it.
Some case studies could be Korean Air Flight 801 in '97 or more recently Colgan Air Flight 3407.
