Beyond the core curriculum, students can choose from a wide range of advanced departmental electives. Here are some examples:
- Corporate Governance and Compliance: This course explores corporate governance frameworks, regulatory compliance mechanisms, and ethical considerations in business operations.
- Gender Equality and Law: Examines gender-based discrimination, women's rights, and the intersection of law with social justice issues.
- Climate Change Litigation: Focuses on legal tools for addressing environmental challenges and holding polluters accountable.
- Digital Privacy & Data Protection: Covers laws governing digital privacy, data protection regulations, and cybersecurity frameworks.
- Ethics in Legal Practice: Addresses professional ethics, confidentiality, conflict of interest, and integrity standards for lawyers.
The department's philosophy on project-based learning emphasizes experiential education. Students engage in both mini-projects and a final-year thesis. Mini-projects are assigned at the end of each semester, focusing on specific legal issues or case studies. These projects allow students to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world problems.
For their final year, students undertake an independent research thesis under the supervision of a faculty mentor. The process begins with selecting a topic aligned with their interests and career goals. Students must submit a proposal, conduct research, and present their findings in a formal defense before a panel of experts.
