Project-Based Learning Philosophy
The department's approach to project-based learning is centered on developing critical thinking, research capabilities, and practical application skills. Students engage in both individual and group projects throughout their academic journey.
Mini-projects are assigned during the second and third years. These projects require students to conduct legal research, draft opinions, and present findings in a simulated courtroom setting. Projects are evaluated based on content quality, presentation skills, and analytical depth.
The final-year capstone project is a comprehensive piece of work that allows students to explore a specialized area of interest in depth. Students select a topic under faculty supervision, conduct extensive research, and produce a thesis or policy paper. This project serves as the culmination of their academic training and prepares them for professional practice.
Faculty mentors are chosen based on expertise and availability. Students work closely with advisors to refine their ideas, navigate legal databases, and develop analytical frameworks. The department provides resources including access to databases, workshops on legal writing, and guidance on project planning and execution.
