Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The department's philosophy on project-based learning is centered on the belief that legal education should not only be theoretical but also practical and application-oriented. Students are encouraged to engage in real-world legal problems through a series of structured projects that build upon each other over the course of their studies.
The mandatory mini-projects are designed to be completed in the second and third years. These projects allow students to apply their legal knowledge to specific issues, such as analyzing a corporate contract, drafting a legal opinion, or conducting a case study on a legal precedent. Each project is supervised by a faculty mentor who provides guidance, feedback, and assessment.
The final-year thesis or capstone project is a comprehensive piece of work that demonstrates students' mastery of legal principles and their ability to conduct independent research. Students are required to select a topic of interest, conduct a literature review, and present their findings in a formal thesis. The thesis is supervised by a faculty mentor and is evaluated by a panel of experts.
The selection of projects and faculty mentors is done through a structured process that ensures students are matched with mentors whose expertise aligns with their interests. Students are encouraged to choose projects that are relevant to their career goals and to seek mentorship from faculty members who have experience in their chosen area of focus.
