ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT
The profession of law has undergone a metamorphosis in recent years so that legal professionals are being increasingly expected to play a vital role in the areas of economic regulation, corporate governance, economic and political policy- making etc. Therefore, in need of providing excellence in modern legal education, the P. G. Department of Law in Sambalpur University started its journey in 1986. We provide master degree program in law and flexible modes of study to help students achieve their goal and we try to make them a competent faculty. I believe that in a short period of time we have become one of the leading providers of modern legal education for students aiming to practice law or soliciting himself in the profession of a Judge, Magistrate, Teacher or even employment with national and multi-national companies. One of our essential hallmarks of the P.G. Department of Law is the highly dedicated full-time faculty members, who are committed to provide quality teaching as well as engage in regular research projects, seminar and article writing. The well equipped computer laboratory allows students to establish themselves grow as competitive lawyers and enhance their skill of advocacy. We teach law not just as lawyers see it but from the eyeglasses of many other multidisciplinary approaches for best endurance. We heartily welcome academicians, researchers and students who would like to be part of this exciting environment.
OBJECT
When something becomes an usage, regulations might be needed but when something becomes a part of life, there is must definitely a need for laws. This is why cyber law, popularly known as IT law or law of Internet was brought into action. The Objective of Cyber Law is to be a safety net against online data predators. To prevent debit card or debit card fraud. Many people have switched to digital paying methods. Cyber Law tries to make sure that victims do not have to go through the additional agony of long procedures. The aim and objective of Cyber Law is to create more awareness about cyber legal issues and challenges.
The object of this seminar is to be a platform where experts, academicians, delegates, student scholars as well as people at large interact and exchange their ideas and knowledge pertaining to the emerging issues and challenges in the field of Cyber Law. The object is not only to find innovative answers but to ask important questions as well. We hope this seminar will throw new light on a subject that is both revolutionary and relevant.
