The present one-year law course has been designed to promote and develop interdisciplinary courses i.e. to appreciate law in a social and developmental context. The aim is to attract students at the threshold of their career options, who will take to Law study not because they have nothing else to do but because legal education is their first choice. This will help in producing lawyers with a sense of social responsibility who can face new challenges posed to the legal profession from time to time. To achieve this we promote and develop clinical programs i.e. Practical Training.
The board object of the LL.M. Course are :
i. To acquaint the students with the practice of law generally and the skills of advocacy in particular;
ii. To expose students to the actual social milieu in which disputes arise and to enable them to develop a sense of social responsibility in professional work;
iii. To be able to seek and critically consume knowledge from outside the traditional legal areas for better delivery of legal services;
iv. To understand the limits and limitations of the formal legal system and to appreciate the relevance and use of alternate modes of lawyering;
v. To imbibe social and humanistic values in relation to law and legal processes while following the norms of professional ethics.
