Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The department's philosophy on project-based learning emphasizes the integration of theoretical knowledge with practical application. Projects are designed to simulate real-world legal scenarios, allowing students to apply concepts learned in class to actual cases or situations.
Mini-projects are assigned during the second and third years. These projects typically involve research papers, mock trials, or policy analysis. Each project is supervised by a faculty member and must meet specific evaluation criteria related to content depth, methodology, presentation quality, and ethical considerations.
The final-year thesis/capstone project requires students to conduct an in-depth study on a topic of their choice within the field of law. The project is supervised by a faculty advisor and must demonstrate originality, critical thinking, and scholarly rigor. Students are expected to present their findings in both written and oral formats before a panel of experts.
Students select projects based on their interests and career goals. Faculty mentors guide students throughout the process, helping them refine research questions, locate resources, and develop analytical frameworks. The selection process ensures that students receive personalized attention and support as they pursue their academic and professional objectives.
