Through engaging discussions, interactive exercises, and case studies drawn from real-world scenarios, participants will gain invaluable insights into the application of tort principles in diverse contexts.
This workshop will be an immersive exploration of one of the cornerstone areas of law that underpins civil society. Delving into the intricate fabric of civil wrongs, liabilities, and legal remedies, this workshop aims to equip participants with a comprehensive understanding of tort law, its nuances, and its practical applications. Moreover, this workshop aims to delve deep into the evolving landscape of tort law, examining recent developments, landmark cases, and emerging trends shaping the field.
