LLB, or "Legum Baccalaureus," is Latin for "Bachelor of Laws." The Latin plural form of "lex" (law) is "leges," shorten to "LL." The LLB qualification is the basic academic qualification for those who are interested in pursuing a career in law. It includes many subjects like constitutional law, criminal law, contract law, and jurisprudence, providing students with legal knowledge and analytical skills. Most universities around the globe, including those in Australia, India, and the UK, conduct this program as a three to five-year course, depending on the country's and education system's requirements.
Upon finishing an LLB, graduates may either go on to further study, e.g., an LLM (Master of Laws), or join the legal profession. In India and the UK, law graduates are required to pass professional exams and internships before they can practice as advocates, solicitors, or legal advisors. The LLB qualification is an important stepping stone to a successful career in law, with prospects in litigation, corporate law, judiciary services, and academia.
