Law is an academic discipline that examines the system of rules and principles that govern societies, resolve disputes, and protect rights. A Law degree (LL.B. or J.D.) introduces students to key areas such as constitutional law, contract law, torts, criminal law, property law, corporate law, and international law, along with legal research and writing. Courses emphasize critical reasoning, argumentation, ethical practice, and the interpretation and application of statutes and case law. Practical components often include moot court, legal clinics, and internships, preparing graduates for careers as attorneys, judges, legal consultants, policy advisors, or roles in government, business, and nonprofit organizations.
