Law graduates are no longer limited by the option to choose litigation as their profession.There are many exciting opportunities for them in the corporate system, which include roles such as legal associates in law firms as well as in-house counsels in companies, among others. Legal practice in a corporate system becomes easier if the attorney is also aware of the business and management practices in business organizations. This requires graduates to not only understand the law but to also possess subject-matter expertise in business administration. Alliance School of Law thus offers the B.B.A. LL. B. (Hons.) course wherein graduates are trained in subjects such as Management, Finance and Languages. The course has been carefully crafted with a view to equip its graduates with an understanding of the legal and management principles in the desired proportion, thereby empowering them with a distinct advantage in their professional careers.

It is essential for a graduate of law to have a robust understanding of the social sciences. Law and social sciences share a strong mutual relationship. While a legal instrument is a mechanism to express the socio-economic and political will of the State, it is equally undeniable that the effectiveness of the legal system has a definite impact on the society. Hence a successful attorney should have a sound knowledge of the social sciences in order to appreciate how to use law as an instrument of social change. The B.A. LL. B. (Hons.) course at the Alliance School of Law includes Political Science, Sociology, Economics, and English as minor areas of study to supplement the wide range of law subjects that its graduates are required to study.
