Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The department believes that project-based learning is essential for developing practical legal skills and deepening understanding of complex issues. Students are encouraged to engage in research projects that reflect real-world challenges in the field of law.
Mandatory mini-projects are assigned during the second and third years, allowing students to apply theoretical knowledge to concrete scenarios. These projects are supervised by faculty members who guide students through research methodologies, data analysis, and report writing.
The final-year capstone project requires students to undertake an independent research study under the supervision of a faculty mentor. This project serves as a culmination of their academic journey, integrating all aspects of legal education into a comprehensive examination of a chosen topic.
Students select projects based on personal interest and career goals, with guidance from mentors who help refine research questions and ensure feasibility. The evaluation criteria include originality, relevance, methodological rigor, and clarity of presentation.
