Teaching pedagogies

  1. Case Method Teaching

    By analysing actual court decisions and situations, case method teaching helps students understand legal concepts.

  2. Dialogic Teaching

    Through inquiry and discussion, dialogic teaching involves students and promotes deeper comprehension, critical thinking, and active engagement in legal discussions.

  3. Clinical Legal Education

    Students can apply their theoretical knowledge, hone their practical skills, and serve communities in legal settings while being professionally supervised through clinical legal education, which gives them practical experience through actual or simulated legal work.

  4. Problem based Learning

    By examining and resolving complex legal issues cooperatively, problem-based learning exposes students to real-world legal scenarios and fosters independent research, critical thinking, and practical problem-solving skills.

  5. Use of Technology

    Through digital resources like legal databases, online courses, and artificial intelligence (AI) simulations, the use of technology in legal studies improves learning and promotes research abilities, accessibility, and readiness for contemporary legal practice.

  6. Interdisciplinary Teaching

    Integrating law with other disciplines through interdisciplinary teaching broadens students' perspectives and aids in their understanding of legal issues in technological, social, and economic contexts.

    Internships connect academic learning with practical legal practice and professional skill development by placing students in law firms or courts.

  • Class Participation and Presentation

  • Practical Skill base Evaluation

    Moot courts, mock trials, and drafting are all part of the Practical Skill-Based Evaluation, which is graded using criteria that evaluate oratory, advocacy, and legal reasoning.
