1. The Lecture Method:

The lecture method is a teacher-led, information-focused methodology in which the teacher serves as the sole guide within the classroom. The students, in this method essentially act as a passive listeners because the teacher is the only one who speaks in this method.

2. The Case Method:

The case method is also known as case-based pedagogy, which is used for helping students to enhance their ability to solve problems by applying legal knowledge, principles, ideas, and skills. These case scenarios could be made up or real.

3. The Seminar Method:

The Seminar method is a kind of organization of the class which uses a scientific approach to analyse a problem that has been picked for discussion. It is a discussion-based teaching technique in which a small group of learners work together to solve problems using the legal approach and analysis. It varies from the intellectual initiative because it is an organised, supervised discussion with the focus on the finding of new relationships by the participants. In the seminar, the student takes an active role.

4. Simulation and Role play

A type of mock court, similar to a court process, is used mostly in institutions and colleges where the law is taught as a subject to assess a student’s ability to defend a legal position according to their legal knowledge. A proper court scenario is created in which the students act as the counsels, for each side (Plaintiff and Defendant) on the analysis of evidence and substantive legal issues, arguing against each other to prove their point before the judge, who will then render his judgement in the same regard and declare the winner who has performed the best based on their legal understanding and analytical skills.
