About the Course

Studying law offers the opportunity to develop a range of skills and explore many aspects of human life. It gives you the chance to sharpen your mind, strengthen your understanding and deepen your experience across the full range of humanities and social sciences. You acquire both breadth of understanding and depth in the areas that interest you most. 

Law should therefore appeal to those who want to develop both abstract thinking and practical problem-solving. It’s easy to see why you don’t have to become a lawyer just because you’ve done a law degree; many choose other paths. A law degree can give you the skills to be a successful lawyer but also a successful producer, politician, manager, journalist, diplomat, or police officer; a law degree equips you for almost any profession that requires intellectual strength combined with a practical approach to the world. 

Why Study Law

• First, Ignorantia juris non excusat is Latin for “ignorance of the law is no excuse”. It is a legal principle holding that a person who is unaware of a law may not escape liability for violating that law merely because one was unaware of its content. This makes it necessary for every person in India and not just its citizens to try to know and understand the law of the land. Lawyers are professionals who happen to know more and specialize in the field of law;
• Second, there is an old saying which goes like this, if you only have three friends, make sure that one of them is a Lawyer, the other a Doctor, and the last a Banker. Any normal person will require the services of these three professionals at some point in time even though we hope against it, and it is better to have someone who gives preference to your well-being rather than look at you as an ATM. Rather, why not be a lawyer yourself if you aren’t the other two;
• Third, a degree in law can give one the skills to be a successful lawyer but also a successful producer, politician, manager, journalist, diplomat, or police officer; a law degree equips you for almost any profession that requires intellectual strength combined with a practical approach to the world;
• Fourth, Law is a professional course and helps you develop certain skills. Critical analysis, drafting of documents, research, argument, presentation, and sharing of ideas;
• Fifth, social engineering is based on the theory that laws are created to shape society and regulate people’s behavior. It is an attempt to control human conduct through rules. Therefore, studying law helps one understand how society functions.
