Objective
1. Legal education in India has increasingly emphasized technical and mechanical virtuosity with
legal rules and concepts that eschews a contextual and ethical evaluation of law. This course
corrects that bias by emphasising the ethical and normative foundations of law and legal
institutions.
2. While the course is not prescriptive about legal and philosophical outcomes in society, it stresses
commitment to foundational moral and political values to be essential to a meaningful
engagement with law.
3. This course cultivates reflective practitioners who have the ability to move between doctrinal
and philosophical argument essential for a critical and ethical practice of law
