PAPER I
LAW AND SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION IN INDIA
1. Introduction:
Law is considered a social phenomenon. It removes the hindrances that hinder human growth. The legal
phenomenon in spite of having a unique, objective identity is inherently tied to the social realities. The
modern anthropocentric world considers individual as the center of the universe and law along with society
must serve this individual. A tectonic shift in the society is bound to change the legal culture of a country. A
Kelsenian/ normative approach necessitates that Constitution changes the society whereas the sociological
approach is of the view that it is the society that transforms the legal structure. Indian has adopted the latter
approach. The purpose of the course is to familiarize the students with the changing dynamics of the Indian
Legal system from post-independence to the current era of globalization.
2 . Course Outcomes:
C.O. 1 : To assess the concept of social transformation and its impact on the legal culture.
C.O. 2 : To evaluate the social problems affecting the Indian nation state and its legal solutions.
C.O. 3 : To critically evaluate the existing legal structure and its efficacy in solving the current social
evils of the nation state .

CORE PAPER I
LEGAL PHILOSOPHY II
1. Introduction:
The nature of law has changed drastically in the 21st century. We are living in the age of post modernism
where Skepticism is in vogue. The contemporary era does not ask as to „what is the law?‟ or what is the nature
of legal enterprise? What is required now is a moment of reflexivity. One must question whether law is truly
an independent, objective phenomenon or a range of different phenomena which are loosely grouped under
the heading of law? In addition to the Liberal – Positivist approach to law, various other Schools have made
their inroads into the ontology of law. The paper is an attempt to incorporate these new approaches and to
develop a sense of reflection among the students. International social movements are affecting legal cultures
all across the world and academics have opened new epicenters of knowledge. Third World Scholars have
challenged the hegemony of Western intelligentsia and the Bretton Woods system has been challenged by the
South Block ever since the outbreak of the sub-prime mortgage crisis. The issue of justice and human rights
has gained momentum. The paper tends to investigate the new wave in the understanding of law in a Gridlock
world.
2. Course Outcome
C .O. 1: To analyze the changing nature of Law in the 21st century.
C.O. 2 : To analyze and interpret the impact of international social movements on law .
C.O. 3 : To understand and interpret the new approaches to law.
