The University is devoted to the use of modern methods of teaching and evaluation. It emphasizes the advantages of learning through small groups in clinical setting. The year is divided in 03-trimesters of 70 working days each. The lectures are accompanied by extensive teaching material prepared and consistently revised by the faculty. Use of audio-visual equipment, small group sessionals, computorials, externships, internal moot courts, simulation and other learning by doing techniques form the core of tutional arrangement. The student is expected to write one paper in each course later followed by substantive dissertation in seminar courses. The cumulative effect is to make for an intensive environment of learning where the teacher and the taught co-operate in inquisitive exploration.

Courses of studies are designed to achieve three objectives:

1. To familiarise the student with black letter law in an interdisciplinary context;
2. To make the student learn the basic skills needed by modern legal profession like-
              

• Rational Analysis

• Problem Solving

• Research Techniques

• Effective Presentation

• Legal Writing

• Accounting

• Strategic Negotiation, and

• Dexterity in Information Technology

3. To enable the student to be an intelligent planner able to comprehend multiplex social  problems in their splendoured variety and train them in the art of conceiving alternate strategies to advance preferred objectives in ethically acceptable manner.

4. The courses of studies in black letter law are planned on an interdisciplinary basis. Law is not autonomous: it is a subsystem of the social system, which is invariably, interconnected, with other subsystems like the economy, polity and social stratification. The purpose of the courses is to familiarise the student with the logic of different sub-systems, and the inter- connections among the sub-systems. The student is trained to perceive a legal problem in its multi-dimensionality and avoid being trapped into the inevitability of the formal logic of law. This contributes to the training of a socially conscious professional.

5. The courses include skills components and are not merely limited to instructions in principles and rules of law. The skill courses seek to cover the essential skills needed by lawyers both in the legal profession and in house roles in government or business.
