Course Description:

Legal education received by the people can influence the development of the national legal system. Legal education is a professional education, which requires adequate doctrinal knowledge of law, legal skills and attitude for responding to national needs. The graduates of the law campuses of Tribhuvan University should be able to render legal services to the nation and individuals in complex legal matters. The society expects that the law graduates should render justice and make people aware of human rights protection and of the need for exploitation less social base. So the law graduates should be equipped with adequate knowledge of law and legal skills. For all this, greater attention should be paid to constantly reviewing and improving the curriculum teaching learning techniques, etc. so that they would all stand professionally at par with those in other countries. In many universities of the world educational planners, technologists, academicians have developed and developing new instructional techniques, curriculum, structures, and restructuring duration of courses.
