Programme Overview
|
| |
| The unique
five-year joint BA-LL.B is designed for students
seeking a challenging, rigorous, interdisciplinary
exposure to not just law but its vital related
disciplines. Furthermore, while the focal point
will be the Pakistani legal system, the teaching
methodology will encompass a critical, comparative
approach in order to broaden perspective and
sharpen analytical skills. Additionally, the
ambit of studies will not just be laws as they
exist and operate but also how policy impacts
laws and how law and policy interplay. |

value, and consistency. By offering 5 years
of sustained quality education, students will
not just obtain a diverse and intellectually
challenging academic training in various significant,
inter-related disciplines but also a premium
professional degree.

and specialized subjects in law as well as exciting
new inter-disciplinary areas such as law and
economics, governance, regulation, and policy

essential hallmarks of the Law & Policy
programme is its commitment to research. Therefore,
the programme will expect its international quality

faculty includes academics and practitioners
trained at some of the best law schools of the
world, such as Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, McGill,
Michigan, University of Georgia, University
of British Columbia and others. The full-time
faculty is currently involved in legal research
in areas such as Criminal Law and Procedure,
Devolution and Local Government, Corporate Governance,
WTO and International Trade Law, Regulation
of Infrastructure Industries, Constitutional
Law, Muslim Personal Law, Law and Society, and
Environmental Law etc.

Innovative Teaching Methodology

participation and discussion in order to develop
their thinking and argumentation abilities as
well as to enrich and enliven class atmosphere.

Variety of Professional Choices

of knowledge and skills that the BA-LL.B degree
is envisioned to impart will ensure that graduates
from the programme are well-equipped to not

profession but also explore opportunities in
and thus contribute to the private sector, academia,
NGOs, civil bureaucracy, regulatory, research,
and policy making bodies and financial institutions.

| LUMS is ideally
placed for launching a world class Law &
Policy programme due to its institutional maturity
and established reputation as well as the welcome
overlaps and synergies that prevail between
its existing business, economics, and social
sciences programmes and its latest initiative
in the area of law and policy.
