OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE: Concept of law is central to the legal enterprise. In the absence of a comprehensive understanding of this concept neither legal education nor legal practice can be set towards attaining justice in the society. Pedagogy is merely teaching of rules without the knowledge of cognitive and teleological foundations of the discipline and it would not be possible to present a synchronization of various statutes, cases, procedures, practices and customs in the form of a ‗systematic body of knowledge‘ nor it would be possible to show the interconnectivity among various branches of law.
