problems.

do you expect to learn in a law degree.

The course is designed by Tufail Hussain.  Tufail Hussain is a Barrister and holds LL.B.

Each and every topic has been explained in light of the examples and case

different cases and how the court’s mind works.  This will not only keep the study of this
course interesting and engaging but also gives a sound foundation of the law of torts at this early
stage of your legal career.
