Master of Laws [L.L.M]

The Master of Laws at Jamia Millia Islamia in New Delhi is a postgraduate law degree for candidates who already hold a bachelor's degree in law and want to specialise rather than practise generally. Teaching moves away from the broad survey of the LLB and into close reading of statutes, case law and academic commentary in a chosen branch such as constitutional and administrative law, criminal law, corporate and commercial law, or international and human rights law, with a dissertation that requires the student to defend an argument of their own. Seminar work, legal research method and writing carry as much weight as examinations. The degree suits litigators wanting depth in one field, candidates preparing for the judicial services or the UGC-NET, and anyone aiming at law teaching, policy research, legal publishing, or in-house advisory work in Delhi's regulatory and corporate ecosystem.
