Legal issues are inherently social issues. Understanding the societal context in which laws operate enriches legal interpretation, policymaking, and the administration of justice. Traditional legal education often focuses on doctrinal analysis, potentially overlooking the socio-economic and political factors influencing the law. This programme aims to bridge that gap, equipping faculty members with the tools to provide a more holistic legal education that reflects real-world complexities.

In the evolving landscape of legal education, there is an increasing recognition of the critical role that social sciences play in shaping a comprehensive understanding of the law. The intricate interplay between legal systems and societal dynamics necessitates a multidisciplinary approach to legal studies. Recognising this evolving need, the Faculty of Law, United Universityis organising a one-week online Faculty Development Programme (FDP) titled: “Bridging Law & Social Sciences for Holistic Legal Education”

This Faculty Development Programme (Online) aims to investigate the recent developments that have occurred in the legal profession, society, and legal education.
