Law

With the globe becoming a global community, "student mobility" is becoming commonplace. However, mobility is skewed toward western destinations, such as the United Kingdom, Germany, Canada, and the United States. When it comes to law, "learn law abroad" is capturing the attention of Indian students, who have traditionally left the country to pursue disciplines such as management, STEM courses, medical, and engineering. Foreign colleges, such as Harvard and Cambridge, have changed the equation by recruiting young Indian minds to study law overseas, thanks to cutting-edge technology, top-notch lecturers, and international exposure. We LAKSHYA OVERSEAS look at the scope of legal study abroad programs, the application process, and other related topics in this article so that the candidate can make an informed career choice.
