Course Curriculum
General Principles of International Trade Law | 6 Credits |
Session: January- April 2020 | Faculty: Dr. Bipin Kumar
Class: BA/BBA LLB VI SEMESTER
A. Introduction:
This course is designed to introduce the student to the legal system governing international
economic transactions and international economic relations, particularly centered on the World
Trade Organization, the most significant institution for international trade relations and its
annexed treaties. The course encourages an understanding of the system through the study of
original materials in a systematic way, designed for students who may practice in the subject area
(either in private firms or government positions), or for students who would like to have an
understanding of the system for personal, scholarly, or for leadership reasons.
Since last three to four decades, liberalization, privatization and globalization of national
economies have become a worldwide phenomenon. With the growing economic interdependence
of the world, understanding this system is increasingly becoming more important. This
interdependence has resulted in an unprecedented growth in the volume of international trade
and cross-border economic exchanges. Until recently, international trade was regulated by
disparate legal regimes, but with the establishment of the World Trade Organization (WTO),
international trade in all its conceivable dimensions is sought to be regulated by the unified and
global legal regime instituted by the WTO. This legal regime administers the trade agreements
negotiated by its Members, in particular the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT),
the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) and Agreement on Trade Related Aspects
of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS). The underlying philosophy of the WTO is that open
markets and non- discrimination are conducive to the national welfare of all countries. The
raison d’etre of the WTO is to reduce both their own trade barriers and those of the foreign
markets. Its primary functions are to be a focal point for the negotiations of binding agreements
to reduce trade barriers and agree on disciplines for policies affecting international trade and to
provide a mechanism though which WTO Members can enforce these negotiated commitments.
B. Course Outcomes

Course Curriculum
SUBJECT: FAMILY LAW-I
Session: January – May 2019 | Faculty: Ms. Preeti Badola | 6 Credits |
A. INTRODUCTION
The course is primarily aimed at a critical understanding of the laws relating to marriage and
divorce, maintenance, custody and guardianship as well as the practice of family law in the
courts with an emphasis on the family courts. While doing so, this course is an interdisciplinary
engagement with ideas around gender, caste, sexuality, religion and family. These ideas will be
the lens through which we look at the various laws.
A pragmatic response is that the Bar Council of India through its Legal Education Rules
mandates this course as a core course. However, the course becomes crucial in light of the ever-
changing socio-legal landscape around which family and relationships are understood. In the
current moment in history, the Hadiya (Akila) case demonstrates the need for an immediate
critical engagement with ideas of marriage, religion, gender and autonomy. It is also pertinent to
note that questions around family law are not far for even lawyers working on commercial cases,
as the family remains the focus of many commercial enterprises in India.

Course Curriculum
Theories of Development and Indian Economy-Eco-III | 6 Credits |
Session: January – April 2020 | Faculty: Dr. Kranti Kapoor
Class: BA LLB VI SEMESTER
A. INTRODUCTION
The course explains the meaning of economic growth and the difference between economic
growth and economic development. It also explores the historical and intellectual evolution of
how and why development does or does not take place. This is done by examining growth and
development theories. Each theory, from classical to neo-liberal, offers valuable insights and a
useful perspective on the nature of development process. The course develops an insight to
understand the concepts of demography, poverty, inequality, urbanization, and environment in
explaining the slow development of many developing countries. The course answers why new
indicators of development are required to measure well being of an individual. And why
sustainable development is an integral part of all new indicators.
All these aspects of development economics are then analyzed with respect to Indian Economy.
Issues of development in India have to be seen in the larger context of the demands of
democracy and social justice. Since 1990, with the advent of economic reforms, India is growing
at 6-7 percent per annum which is a great achievement. The course discusses why India has
climbed up rapidly the ladder of economic growth but has fallen relatively behind in the scale of
social and demographic indicators. The structure, significance and contribution of agricultural,
industrial and service sector is discussed in detail in the course. The reasons of increasing
agrarian distress, slow growth of manufacturing sector and rapid but jobless growth of service
sector are also included. Large regional disparities is a major obstacle in India’s economic
development. The course throws some light on this aspect also.
The idea of development economics contains the idea of law embedded in it. Economists find
these ideas hidden in instruments of policy making. Reforming the legal system in itself is an
important development policy prescription. Labor, capital and general transactions are all legal
institutions showing set of legal rights and legal arrangements in which bargaining takes place.
For all these reasons it is important to understand how law can be added to development
thinking.
In sum we can say that it is an attempt to enable the students of the law course to understand the
conditions conducive to economic growth and also its deterrents. This would not only facilitate
their knowledge of the contemporary issues of Indian economy but would also help in a better
understanding of the economic implications of the alternative development strategies and
policies. An effective planning and an appropriate policy framework required for development
and growth of Indian economy can be worked out only after a comprehensive knowledge of the
conditions and limitations of the economic system.
B. COURSE OUTCOMES

development, more especially in the post liberalized and post globalized times.

economic growth and also its deterrents.
