There was a dire need to revamp the existing 5-year LLB Programme and to bring it in line with international best practices and the HEC Undergraduate Education Policy V 1.1. In this regard, the Pakistan Bar Council together with its Directorate of Legal Education (DLE) proposed the reduction of LLB degree from five to four years to align it with all other undergraduate degrees in Pakistan and make it more competitive. The new four-year LLB Programme is a comprehensive undergraduate degree designed to equip students with a strong foundation in legal principles, critical thinking, and practical skills necessary for a successful career in law. Combining theoretical knowledge with hands-on learning, the curriculum covers core areas such as Constitutional Law, Criminal Law, Contract Law, Property Law, and Legal Ethics, alongside specialized electives and clinical legal education as one of its seminal features. The programme emphasizes research, advocacy, and legal writing, preparing graduates to pursue careers as legal practitioners, judges, academics and policy makers, or to further their studies in advanced areas of law.
