About the Degree course |
| |
The Bachelor’s programme in Law is a five years’ comprehensive course that has been developed in response to the needs of those seeking knowledge of law in several areas .
Studying at the Law Colleges is quite exciting as it facilitates all round personality development. The teaching methods adopted for the degree program are such as to promote multi-disciplinary inquiry and practical appreciation of problems. The method of teaching involves lectures, discussions, case studies, Moot Courts and project work. An innovative feature of the teaching method followed by the Colleges is the cooperative teaching where two or more teachers jointly offer a course and interact with the students in the same class. This is particularly useful for the multi-disciplinary analysis of socio-legal problems.
There is a high degree of interaction between the students and the teachers in the classroom. This is largely facilitated by the fact that at the commencement of the Course, each student is given a set of reading materials containing the course outline, teaching plan, reading lists and a fairly large volume of study materials in respect of each course. They consist of case studies, judicial decisions, articles and excerpts from reports. With this material, the students are expected to come prepared for the classes and actively participate in classroom discussions. Faculty at the Law School is very accessible. With an excellent faculty-student ratio, the Law School provides an exciting opportunity for the students to interact with the teachers and their colleagues.
Beyond exchanges between students and faculty in the classroom, there are more formal means of communication aimed at improving the class experience and student life. At the end of each course, the students are expected to complete an evaluation of the courses undertaken by them in that trimester. The comments in these evaluation forms are taken seriously by students and the faculty. Many professors specifically ask the students they taught to write extensive comments on the teaching, reading materials, availability for consultation, etc., so that they can more accurately identify students' concerns especially It provides a vocationally rich and relevant course of education that is intellectually challenging and will prepare students for a successful career by providing them with managerial inputs, in addition to strong skills’ development vital to a career in Law. |
