Practical components include mock trials, case analysis, and guest lectures by practicing advocates and judges.
Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The department's philosophy on project-based learning emphasizes experiential education that bridges theory and practice. Projects are designed to simulate real-world legal scenarios, allowing students to apply their knowledge in meaningful ways.
Mini-projects are introduced from the second year, with each student required to complete at least two projects throughout their academic journey. These projects involve research papers, case analyses, or policy recommendations. Students work under faculty supervision and receive feedback throughout the process.
The final-year capstone project is a significant undertaking that requires students to conduct original research or engage in a substantial legal practice simulation. The project must demonstrate mastery of legal concepts and analytical skills. Students are paired with mentors from industry or academia and must present their findings to a panel of experts.
Project selection occurs during the third year, with students choosing topics aligned with their interests and career goals. Faculty advisors guide students through the research process, ensuring that projects meet academic standards and contribute to the broader understanding of legal issues.
