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 a realm 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.

Constitution Law-I
Objectives:
India is a democracy and her Constitution embodies the main principles of the democratic
government- how it comes into being, what are its powers, functions, responsibilities and
obligation show power is limited and distributed. Whatever might have been the original
power base of the Constitution, today it seems to have acquired legitimacy as a highest
norm of public law. A good understanding of the Constitution and the law, which has
developed through constitutional amendments, judicial decisions, constitutional practice
and conventions is, therefore, absolutely necessary for a student of law. He must also
know the genesis, nature and special features and be aware of the social, political and
economic influence on the Constitution.
A student must learn how various interpretations of the constitution are possible and why
a significant interpretation was adopted in a particular situation. Such a critical approach
is necessary equirement in the study of constitutional law. Judicial review is an important
aspect of constitutional law. India is the only country where the judiciary has the power
to review even constitutional amendments. The application of basic structure objective in
the evaluation of executive actions is an interesting development of Indian constitutional
law. Pari pasu the concept of secularism and federalism engraved in the constitution are,
and are to be, interpreted progressively.
