About Department of Land Management and Law

In Bangladesh, Jagannath University's Department of Land Management and Law represents the pinnacle of legal education on land. Established in 2016, this is the Bangladesh's most prestigious land law school. It acts as a hub, uniting a multitude of extraordinarily talented people from various academic backgrounds around the world. They are all individuals with distinct life experiences, interests, and aspirations, as well as different techniques, methods, and viewpoints. It serves as a platform for the best of the current generation to come together with the hopes and dreams of the upcoming authorities in various legal fields.

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Master of Laws (LLM), Master of Philosophy (MPhil), and Bachelor of Laws (LLB) are the four programs at which the faculty members teach legal education. There are more than 300 students in the department. Each year 60 students are enrolled in the LLB program under the Department of Land Management and Law at the Jagannath University. Students are encouraged to explore the subtle complexity that characterize the legal landscape by moving beyond the strict boundaries of statutory language. This involves a thorough investigation of questions including the historical origins and development of widely accepted legal principles, the application of legal ideas to novel situations, encouraging a forward-thinking attitude, and closely examining the intended purpose and societal goals.

The Department provides a wide range of extracurricular activities intended to improve and supplement the classroom components of our academic programs. Beyond the conventional boundaries of the lecture hall, our students actively engage in a varied range of activities that span the professional pursuits, public service efforts, and inclusive social connections. At the moment, the department is home to more than three student organizations: the Land Law Club, the LAN Moot Court Society, the LAN Debating Club. They each stand for a different aspect of a person's interest, whether personal or professional. These groups provide our students with a dynamic and all-encompassing educational experience by organizing a variety of intellectually engaging activities. These networks offer students priceless connections and mentorship possibilities, giving them a strong basis for their professional goals.

Our curriculum is designed to provide students not just a theoretical grounding in legal concepts but also the practical expertise necessary to use that knowledge in practice distinctively we aim to prepare them fastened at understanding and dissolving all the land disputes. In order to achieve our mission, we instil in our graduates the core competencies essential to embark on the practice of law including Legal analysis; Legal Research and Writing; Legal Problem Solving; Fundamentals of Dispute resolving; Building Expertise on Critical Land Issues and Fundamentals of Professional Responsibility and Identity.

The vision of the Department of Land Management and Law is to become a premier institution of legal education and research, specialized on land management and issues associated with it, fostering a community of legal learners and researchers committed to have an impact on national and the contemporary globalized legal environment with the goal of advancing human dignity, social welfare, and justice through the knowledge of law.
