Program Summary
Public Law is a field of study that focuses on the legal framework governing the relationship between individuals and the state, as well as the structures and functions of government institutions. It encompasses constitutional law, which defines the organization of the state, the distribution of powers, and the fundamental rights of citizens. It also includes administrative law, which regulates the actions of government agencies and ensures accountability, and criminal law, which sets out offenses against the state and the corresponding penalties. This course examines key legal principles, judicial decisions, and legislative frameworks that shape governance, the rule of law, and the protection of rights. Students explore the balance of power between different branches of government, the role of the judiciary in upholding constitutional principles, and the mechanisms for challenging unlawful government actions. The study of public law provides an understanding of how laws are made, interpreted, and enforced, as well as how individuals and organizations can seek legal remedies when their rights are infringed. Through case studies and legal analysis, students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills applicable to legal practice, policymaking, and public administration.
