Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The department's philosophy on project-based learning emphasizes hands-on, experiential education that bridges theory and practice. Projects are designed to simulate real-world legal scenarios and challenges, allowing students to apply their knowledge in practical contexts.
The mandatory mini-projects begin in the second year and involve students working individually or in small groups on specific legal issues. These projects require research, analysis, and presentation of findings. The final-year thesis/capstone project is a comprehensive study that integrates all aspects of the student's learning experience.
Students select their projects based on their interests and career aspirations, with faculty mentors providing guidance throughout the process. The evaluation criteria include originality, research depth, analytical skills, and presentation quality.
