COURSE-II JURISPRUDENCE
Objectives:
Any academic discipline, worthy of the name, must develop in the student the capacity for
critical thought. Legal education needs to teach both law and its context- social, political and
theoretical. At the heart of legal enterprise is the concept of law. Without deep understanding of
this concept neither legal practice nor legal education can be a purposive activity. This course in
Jurisprudence is designed, primarily, to induct students into are alm of questions concerning
nature of law. Therefore, the first part of the course is concerned with important questions like,
what is law, what are the purposes of law?, the relationship between law and justice and the like.
The second part is concerned with the important sources of law. The emphasis is on important
issues concerning law with reference to ancient and modern Indian Legal Thought. One
important branch of Jurisprudence consists in analysis of legal concepts. The law of contract and
tort is concerned with different rights which one person may have against another. Jurisprudence,
on the other hand, studies the meaning of the term “rights” in the abstract and seeks to
distinguish various kinds of rights which are in theory possible under a legal system. Similarly, it
investigates other legal concepts and tries to build up a general and more comprehensive picture
of each concept as a whole. This course is designed primarily on English model but native India
Orientation is given wherever possible.

COURSE -IV: CLINICAL COURSE-I: PROFESSIONAL ETHICS AND

PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNTING SYSTEM
Objective:
Professions are noble. The movement of all professions, hitherto, has been from chaos to
organization, organization to consolidation and consolidation to autonomy and monopoly. Same
is true of the law profession also. The prime reason for conferring autonomy and monopoly by
the society on the professionals is the fact that they are a body of learned persons and the interest
of society and individuals is safe in their hands. The Bar should set enviable standards of ethics
and scrupulously adhere to them as also enforce them. It is too good of the society to trust the
learned body of the professionals to regulate themselves and not to empower an outsider to sit in
judgment over their activities. The trust reposed by the society in profession is to be zealously
guarded. The Bar should live up to the expectations of the society. The society has a right to
expect of the professionals such ideal behavior. The course is designed to imbue students with
these high values forming the basis of the profession so that they can live up to those standards in
their professional life.
