It enables them to compare the operation of law in two or more systems and thereby increase their overall comprehension of those legal systems and how the law operates in different cultural, economic, political, social, and linguistic backgrounds.

CILO-2: Students will be able to compare the working of law in two or more systems to increase their comprehension of at least one of them. CILO-3: Students will be able to build the skill to analyse, evaluate and reflect critically on current problems of comparative law.
