Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The department emphasizes project-based learning as a core component of the educational experience. Projects are assigned at multiple levels—mini-projects in early semesters and capstone research projects in later years.
Mini-projects typically involve case studies, policy analysis, or legal research on current issues. These projects help students develop analytical skills, critical thinking abilities, and proficiency in legal writing. Each mini-project is evaluated using a rubric that assesses clarity, depth of analysis, accuracy of facts, and presentation quality.
The final-year thesis/capstone project requires students to conduct original research on a topic of their choice under the supervision of a faculty mentor. The project must demonstrate advanced knowledge in the chosen area, incorporate relevant legal literature, and propose practical solutions or recommendations.
Students select their projects based on interests and career goals. Faculty mentors guide them through every stage—from proposal development to final submission—ensuring that each project meets academic standards and contributes meaningfully to the field of law.
