20LLB102 JURISPRUDENCE (LEGAL METHOD, INDIAN
LEGAL SYSTEM & BASIC THEORY OF LAW)
PREREQUISITE NIL
The subject of Jurisprudence, by and large considered as a difficult subject in the law curricula as
it deals with abstract concepts and theories. The subject becomes all the more difficult for
comprehension and understanding when the language used by jurists is a bit more sophisticated.
Having said that one can’t underestimate the value it hold for a law student in his understanding
of law. Jurisprudence was the first of the social sciences born. Its province has been determined
and re-determined and there is no finality to it. Thus study of jurisprudence concerns thought
about law on the broadest possible basis. Study of jurisprudence consists of finding out the
‘rationale’ or the ‘reasoning’ behind such laws. In the study of jurisprudence we go deeper and
find out why is it that a particular mode or manner of behavior has taken the status of law; what
distinguishes a legal rule from a moral rule or a social rule or a custom; what makes a rule
enduring and lasting; why people obey or disobey laws.
OBJECTIVES:
The students should get familiar with various approaches to law and legal processes. They
should be able to appreciate dynamic character of the law and legal systems particularly in the
context of socio-legal history of the society. Endeavour should be made to develop among
students critical thinking about the law, legal system and legal processes. The students should be
in position to appreciate how diverse approaches to law influence decision-making in judicial
courts.
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
On completion of this course, students will be able to:
1) Describe legal theory from various perspectives or points of view, such as legal
positivism, natural law, sociological jurisprudence.
10
2) Utilize a variety of perspectives on legal theory to analyze issues and problems of
criminal and civil justice in the contemporary society.
3) Critically review and analyze law and its operation in a heterogeneous liberal democracy
with a focus on issues of diversity or equity.
4) Integrate and synthesize knowledge of law and legal process with diverse and even
conflicting perspectives on law to address problems in contemporary society.

PREREQUISITE NIL
The Financial Institution is one of the four segments or components of a financial system. These
are intermediaries that mobilize savings and facilitate the allocation of the funds in an efficient
manner. Financial institutions can be classified as banking and non-banking financial institution.
Banking institution are creators and purveyors of credit while non-banking financial institutions
are purveyors of credit. While the liability of banks is part of the money supply, this may not be
true of non-banking financial institution. In the post-reforms era, the role and nature of activity
of these financial institutions have undergone a tremendous change. Banks have now undertaken
non-bank activities and financial institutions have taken up banking function. Most of the
financial institutions now resort to financial markets for raising funds.
