What is the syllabus for LLM entrance at JMI? Are there subjects we need to specifically focus on like Constitution, Jurisprudence etc?
Not just constitution you need to have a good knowledge of reasoning ,laws , articles,etc.
You can download previous years question papers from the official site.
Now ,not just of JMI ,I would recommend you to solve previous years paper of BHU,DU,NLSIU,loads of CLAT paers.
You can go on official NTA site.There you can give mocks and download question papers too.
Feel free to ask if you have any more queries.
All the best!
Answer laterWhat is mean by Law of Torts and Jurisprudence ?
Law of torts and Jurisprudence are two completely different subjects. In jurisprudence we have to study about the theories, philosophies and science of law whereas a tort may be defined as a civil wrong independent of contract for which the appropriate remedy is an action for unliquidated damages.
P.S. :- Unliquidated Damages are a form of compensation which is said to be 'at large', that is, the amount is not predetermined with the contract is entered into, but is determined by a court (either a judge or jury) after the breach has occurred.
what is the purpose of jurisprudence??
Hello!
while giving the purpose of jurisprudence , SALMOND said that in a primary and generic sense jurisprudence includes the entire body of legal doctorines . It is jurisprudentia, the knowledge of law or legal skill and in this sense all law books are books of jurisprudence . By law, in this connection, is meant exclusively civil law i.e. the law of the land (law of the country) as opposed to those other bodies of rules to which the name of law has been extended by analogy. with the use of the term science , he said in its wildest permissible sense as including the systematised knowledge of any subject of intellectual inquiry, we may define jurisprudence as the 'SCIENCE OF CIVIL LAW'.
Thus following are the purposes of jurisprudence:
1. EXPOSITION OF LAW : That simply means that the law should be exposed firstt as to what it is and then it should be studied systematically. It is also known as Analytical approach i.e. to make an analysis and therefore this branch of study was designated as Analytical jurisprudence.
2.LEGAL HISTORY : It is also an object of jurisprudence which means we should trace and know legal history. It is also known as Historical Approach and therefore this branch of study was known as Historical Jurisprudence
3. SCENCE OF LAW: Which means that the purpose of jurisprudence is not only to make an analysis of law as it is or to trace the history of law as it has been but to know as to what the law ought to be i.e the ethical aspect and is known as Ethical Approach. In this sense this branch of study is known as Ethical Jurisprudence .
Thankyou!
