# Full text and tactile routes for five original A4 aids

Each pair is an original one-page A4 [SVG](rule-or-law.svg)/PDF aid with full-word labels. A screen reader should use the text here; PDFs have selectable text but are **untagged**, so their reading order has not been independently checked. No colour distinction is needed. A tactile route can be built with index cards, raised tape or string. Read source-card details aloud only if the learner chooses. These educational models are not current-law charts for personal legal advice.

## Rule or law?

[SVG](rule-or-law.svg) · [PDF](rule-or-law.pdf). The four numbered horizontal boxes are Maker, Source, Status and Facts. Maker asks who issued a venue or club rule; that alone cannot create a criminal offence. Source asks for a valid current legal instrument rather than staff speech. Status checks passage, assent and commencement. Facts asks what actually establishes conduct. The final line keeps rule, law and proven conduct separate.

**Tactile route:** Make four cards labelled MAKER, SOURCE, STATUS, FACTS. Put “club rule” beside Maker, a blank card beside Source, “proposed” and “operative?” beside Status, and “conduct unproved” beside Facts. Move the cards as a legal claim becomes supported or remains unknown.

## Source ladder

[SVG](source-ladder.svg) · [PDF](source-ladder.pdf). Four numbered rows are Rumour, Bill, Act, Judgment. A rumour can suggest a question but does not establish law. A bill is proposed. The authorised current Act needs provision, jurisdiction and commencement checking. A relevant judgment may interpret law subject to hierarchy and fact comparison. None witnesses the classroom incident.

**Tactile route:** Place four raised cards from least to more legally authoritative for a current rule: RUMOUR, BILL, AUTHORISED ACT, RELEVANT JUDGMENT. Add a separate FACTS card to the right, never on the same ladder. Ask what an Act still cannot prove.

## Three arms, two axes

[SVG](three-arms.svg) · [PDF](three-arms.pdf). Four numbered boxes: Parliament debates and passes bills; executive administers law; courts interpret and apply law; an entirely separate Commonwealth/state power allocation must be checked using exclusive, concurrent and residual categories. Ministers may sit in Parliament, so the first three are not a rigid personnel split.

**Tactile route:** Lay PARLIAMENT, EXECUTIVE, COURTS left-to-right. Place a long perpendicular strip marked COMMONWEALTH / STATE below them. This shows two different classification axes. Add EXCLUSIVE, CONCURRENT, RESIDUAL on that strip only.

## Court path and proof

[SVG](court-path.svg) · [PDF](court-path.pdf). Four numbered rows: identify current offence and facts; Magistrates Court is the usual first Queensland criminal level; serious matters may go to District or Supreme Court, whose Supreme Court includes Court of Appeal; precedent can provide binding legal reasoning but does not prove the disputed person caused damage. Particular jurisdiction remains to check.

**Tactile route:** Lay SOURCE, MAGISTRATES, DISTRICT / SUPREME, PRECEDENT cards in a path. Put DISPUTED FACTS on a separate strip; never move it under PRECEDENT as if case law were a witness. Use “may” at the serious-matter step.

## Fairness lens

[SVG](fairness-lens.svg) · [PDF](fairness-lens.pdf). Five numbered rows ask for Status (rule/bill/operative law), Evidence (what each item shows), Viewpoints (who is affected), Consequence (conditional effect of each approach) and Next step (fair recommendation and remaining unknown). It is an analysis guide, not a verdict.

**Tactile route:** Give five full-word cards in a left-to-right path. After STATUS and EVIDENCE place a movable STOP token. Learner moves on only after the legal source and factual support are identified or explicitly marked missing.
