Message from the department chairperson
Message of the chair
The Department at present runs two programs, namely, Bachelor of Laws (LL B Hons.) and Master of Laws (LL M). However, the academic study here in the department is about much more than just learning the letter of the law. The legal environment that we offer is quite different from the traditional learning environment. We encourage the students to adopt an innovative approach so that they can combine academic rigor with practical legal skills which is necessary to be successful in a real life environment.
