Here that means constitutional, criminal, contract and corporate law, with moot courts and internships. Typical first jobs: advocate, legal associate or corporate legal roles.

The exact syllabus is set by the college or its affiliating university and changes from year to year, so ask CU Kerala for the current semester-wise plan.
