About

The overwhelming presence of law and its application in every field of knowledge is what the contemporary world strongly reflects in the contemporary times. With the changing landscape of legal education across the globe, the interactions among the various legal systems of the world have gone up significantly in the last few years. This has given rise to emerging areas in law demanding more expertise from a law professional than what was expected from a very traditional approach to study of law.

This proposal is submitted by The NorthCap University (NCU) for approval of Three Year LL.B Programme.
