MEANING OF LL.B., LL.M., LL.D., JJ. & pp.

An LL.B. is the award of the degree of Bachelor of Laws. LL.B. is a Latin word. It stands for ‘Legum Baccalaureus’, signifying 'Bachelor of Laws'. In Latin abbreviations, the plural form of a word is indicated by doubling the letter- hence ‘LL.’ is short for Laws.

LL.M. is Latin abbreviation for Legum Magister, signifying 'Master of Laws'.

LL.D. is Latin abbreviation for Legum Doctor, signifying 'Doctor of Laws'.
JJ. is Latin abbreviation for "Justices".

pp. is Latin abbreviation for "pages".

There is one other matter that needs to be resolved. Why call it LAWS in the plural when all you are studying is the LAW of the land?

The answer lies in the history of the subject at a time when both the canon and the common law were part of the syllabus. Therefore it was called LAWS. However this is not required today as we only study the common law and therefore LB would be more appropriate in this day and age.

I don't think L B would be more appropriate in this day and age - there are many laws and many different types of law - public, contract, criminal, tort and so forth - I would therefore argue that LLB is still as appropriate today as it has ever been........

STING OPERATIONS - AN INVASION OF PRIVACY*

Is it justified to commit an offence to expose an offence? * Published in CNN, Vol. 3, No. 9, September 2005, pp. 39-41 The advent of miniaturized audio and video technology, specially the pin-hole camera technology, enables one to clandestinely make a video/audio recording of a conversation and actions of individuals. In India, the Media has been first to grab this state of the art technology to conduct ‘sting operations’ to expose an offence before the police or the Judiciary takes the cognizance of the matter. The phrase ‘sting operation’ illuminates the impact of secret media coverage on a person’s reputation by creating a widespread perception of guilt regardless of any verdict in a court of law. Thus the media, the supposed fourth pillar of our democracy, usurps the role of the executive and the judiciary. This is not only a sheer violation of state’s substantive and procedural penal laws but a hit on the face of the entire Constitutional framework as well. There is no c...

ARBITRATION TRIBUNAL OR CONSUMER FORUM - A CONSUMER’S DILEMMA*

*Published in "LEGAL NEWS & VIEWS", Vol. 19, No. 6, June 2005, pp. 14-15 ( A monthly publication of Indian Social Institue, New Delhi - 110 003) When a potential consumer goes to buy some goods e.g. electronics or vehicle for private use etc. or to hire any service e.g. insurance, electricity or housing construction, etc., he may be required to sign on an agreement paper in which an arbitration clause is also appended. In case a dispute arises out of the transaction, the question pops up whether the aggrieved consumer can approach the Consumer Forum/Commissions or he is bound to be dragged in arbitration proceedings. In other words, whether he has the option of seeking relief in the Consumer Forum/Commissions by avoiding the arbitration. On the one hand, Section 5 of The Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996("Act of 1996") provides that notwithstanding anything contained in any other law for the time being in force, in matters governed by Part I, no judicial ...
