Experience theLaw in Action
Drafting exercises
- To help students apply their knowledge of law, we encourage them to draft contracts, agreements, and incorporation documents for a company.
- A lot of drafting exercises are built into the curricula.
- Some special workshops by practising lawyers are organised as well.
Moot Court exercises
- To ensure that all students go through the rigour of employing legal methods in solving a legal problem, all students must undergo moot court exercises as a part of some of the law courses.
- Students are provided with a set of hypothetical facts. They must identify the underlying legal issues that must be addressed. They prepare a written submission (this helps develop research and writing skills) and make oral arguments in a simulated courtroom.
Legal Aid
- Our students engage with the local community to create awareness about legal rights and laws. They engage with the community by organising lectures by practicing advocates and local officials, performing nukkad nataks, etc.
Legal Debates
- To help students develop the ability to connect theoretical knowledge of law with social and policy-based issues.
- To help students build well-reasoned arguments.
- Students are given a question in advance; they are expected to build arguments based on their research on law and the subject matter.
- Debates are organised (both graded/ungraded) as a part of some courses, depending on the content of the course.
Interaction with entrepreneurs
- The law students must develop the ability to see legal problems from the perspective of their future clients.
- This exercise in the course on company law puts students in a position to understand the legal problems perceived by entrepreneurs and those running/managing businesses.
Open-book exams and Application-based problems
- Lawyers solve legal problems by identifying the underlying legal issue in a problem brought by the client.
- Then, they research the law relevant to the legal issue before proposing a solution.
- Every exam at the School of Law at BMU replicates this process by expecting students to solve problems that require the application of law.
- They are required to identify the problem’s underlying issue and the correct set of rules and regulations that address the problem.
- They are then expected to correctly interpret the law and precedents to render good legal advice.
- Lawyers are not expected to memorise every rule and regulation; they can refer to law books for the same. All our exams are open books to ensure that students do not wrongly place a premium on memorisation
