The LL.B degree in Pakistan
In Pakistan, a person going
for an LL.B. degree should have a
bachelor's degree. Most law students
choose to obtain a two year bachelor degree before enrolling for an
LL.B. degree in a law college. The LL.B. itself is a three year programme. In Punjab, a five year joint B.A. / LL.B. degree is being
offered by law colleges.
After obtaining an LL.B.
degree, a person wishing to practice, has to intimate the concerned Bar
Council that he is undergoing a six month training period under the
supervision of a High Court lawyer with ten year standing. After he
completes the pupilage, he will be asked to take a written test and
undergo a viva-voce exam.
The
Bachelor of Laws (abbreviated LL.B., LLB or rarely Ll.B.) is an
undergraduate, or bachelor, degree in law offered in most common law
countries as the primary law degree and which originated in England. It
was established as a liberal arts degree, which requires that the
student undertake a certain amount of study of the classics.
Nonetheless, the goals of most LL.B. programs are to provide a scholarly
education, and therefore jurisdictions which offer the LL.B. require
additional education or training before a graduate is authorized to
practice law. In English-speaking Canada it is sometimes referred to as
a post-graduate degree because in those countries a previous university
degree is usually required for admission. The "LL." of the abbreviation
for the degree is from the genitive plural legum , thus "LL.B." stands
for Legum Baccalaureus in Latin. In the United States it was sometimes
erroneously called "Bachelor of Legal Letters" to account for the double
"L" (and therefore sometimes abbreviated as "L.L.B.").
