==History==

===Anjuman I Punjab (1865)===

University Law College was established by the Anjuman I Punjab in 1868. Anjuman-I-Punjab was a Literary Club founded in Lahore on 21 January 1865 by Dr [[Gottlieb Wilhelm Leitner]] who was a renowned British linguistic and orientalist. He also later, became the first registrar of [[University of the Punjab]]. The society aimed at the development of Vernacular Literature. Meetings were held by the Anjuman for the Literary, Social and Scientific interests of people. [[Oriental College]] and University Law College were also established by the Anjuman which became the part of Punjab University College now known as [[University of the Punjab]] <ref>{{Cite web |date=2000-12-19 |title=ANJUMAN-I-PANJAB - The Sikh Encyclopedia |url=https://www.thesikhencyclopedia.com/social-institutions-and-movements/educational-institutions/anjuman-i-panjab/ |access-date=2023-08-06 |language=en-US}}</ref>

===Pre Partition (1868-1947)===
The college's original course of study was two years long and offered both in English and the vernacular language. No examinations were administered, because admittance to the practice of law was governed solely by examinations administered by the Punjab Chief Court.<ref name="BT anniversary" />

In 1873, the court's rules changed to require candidates for the bar to have passed university entrance examinations and the college introduced examinations.<ref name="BT anniversary" /> In 1887, passing of intermediate exams and having minimum three-fourth attendance in the law college was made mandatory for giving the Law/Bar exams.in 1890, Government of India imposed new rules. It empowered the college to confer LL.B and LL.D degrees and in order to give the LL.B examinations and obtain the license to practice law, it was necessary for the students to have passed in intermediate and graduate in any Arts degree.

In 1935 the college increased the span of LL.B program from two years to three years however after the partition the regulation were again revised and on the orders of the Government of Pakistan and the Supreme Court of Pakistan the degree program was again reduced to two years

===Post Partition===
In 1948 the LL.B degree program was of two years. In 1964 however, under the directions of the High court of West Pakistan, the LL.B professional degree was extended to three years and in the same year, the college started to offer two Law courses at a time; B.L (Bachelor in law) a degree of two years and LL.B (Legum Baccalaureus) the traditional three year degree.

In 1966 the B.L degree was cancelled and the LL.B degree was again converted to a two years degree program. However, in 1992-1993 the 3 years LL.B program was reintroduced, this time, under the pattern of the Law of UK (Common Law)

===College Campus===
[[File:PULC old campus.jpg|thumb|PULC Old Campus (1870-1978)]]
[[File:PULC old (Allama Iqbal) Campus.jpg|thumb|PULC old (Allama Iqbal) Campus]]
The main building of the college was initially located on the katchery road near [[Oriental College]] and [[Government College University, Lahore|Government College]], Lahore. However, in 1978 due to lack of proper space and in order the expand the college, it was shifted to its present premises at Quaid e Azam (New Campus) along with [[Hailey College of Commerce]] and other important departments.

===Current Standing===
Today the Law College is one of the Highest Ranked Law institutes in Pakistan. The merit of Law College is extremely high while the acceptance rate is extremely low. Due to its incredibly low fee and many facilities for students, it is the most preferred Law college for law aspirants in Pakistan.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Shahbaz |first=Syed Arslan |date=2022-05-13 |title=Top 10 Best Law Colleges In Lahore (2023) {{!}} Ilmibook |url=https://ilmibook.com/best-law-colleges-in-lahore/ |access-date=2023-08-07 |language=en-US}}</ref>

Although initially of three years the degree was extended to five years for an [[LLB]] beginning in 2016 under the [[Pakistan Bar Council]] Legal Education Rules, 2015.<ref name="5 years">{{cite news |last1=Sheikh |first1=Ammar |date=28 July 2016 |title=New rules: PU to start 5-year LLB degree programmes |language=en |work=The Express Tribune |url=https://tribune.com.pk/story/1151501/new-rules-pu-start-5-year-llb-degree-programmes |access-date=3 August 2023}}</ref> The degree of LL.B three years was changed to an integrated-five years BA.LLB. It was done to limit the massively increasing lawyers in Pakistan and to offer professional legal education to the Law students.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2016-10-13 |title=Pakistan Bar Council Legal Education Rules 2015 - A Legal Critique |url=https://courtingthelaw.com/2016/10/13/commentary/pakistan-bar-council-legal-education-rules-2015-a-legal-critique/ |access-date=2023-08-07 |website=Courting The Law |language=en-US}}</ref>

As of 2013, the college had approximately 1,600 students.<ref name="BT anniversary" /> The college now offers B.A LL.B (5 years) in Annual system and B.A LL.B (Hons) in semester system and has total number of seats of 200. Out of which 100 are on-merit and 100 are of self-finance.<ref>{{Cite web |title=University Law College [ Admission Policies ] |url=http://www.pulc.edu.pk/AdmissionAdd/AdmissionPolicies.htm |access-date=2023-08-07 |website=www.pulc.edu.pk}}</ref>

==Programs==
===B.A LL.B===
The [[Bachelor of Laws|B.A LL.B]] program is a 5-year integrated B.A and LL.B program which is divided in two phases 1) the B.A phase and 2) the [[Bachelor of Laws|LLB]] phase. In the first two years, students study basic B.A subjects like [[Political science|Poitical Science]], [[Sociology]], [[History of Pakistan|Pakistan history]], [[Islamic studies]], English and introductory subjects of law. While in the next the years, the subjects are specialized into Law-elated subjects for example: [[Civil Law Commentaries|Civil Law]], [[Criminal procedure|Criminal Procedure Code]] (CPC/CRPC), [[IT law|Cyber Laws]], [[Corporate law|Corporate Law]], Company Law, [[Constitutional law|Constitutional Law]] ([[Constitution of Pakistan|Pakistani]], [[Constitution of the United States|US]] and [[Constitution of the United Kingdom|British]]), [[Environmental law|Environmental Law]], [[Property law|Property Laws]], [[Equity (law)|Law of Equity]], [[Law of torts|Law of Torts]] e.t.c

===LL.M===
From 1981- 82, regular [[Master of Laws|LL.M]]. classes were also introduced and now LL.M, a two years research program is being offered during morning as well as evening hours. The LL.M program is controlled by the Postgraduate School of Legal Studies.<ref>{{Cite web |title=University of the Punjab - Law |url=http://pu.edu.pk/home/department/90075/Postgraduate-School-of-Legal-Studies |access-date=2023-08-07 |website=pu.edu.pk}}</ref> The following subjects are being offered to LL.M part 1 and 2 students: Constitutional Law, [[Administrative law|Administrative Law]], [[Evidence (law)|Law of evidence]], [[International economic law|International Economic Law]] e.t.c. This research oriented LL.M. program requires six days a week of library work, seminars, lectures and tutorials.<ref>{{Cite web |title=University of the Punjab - University Law College (PU) |url=https://llm-guide.com/schools/asia/pakistan/university-of-the-punjab-pu |access-date=2023-08-07 |website=llm-guide.com |language=en}}</ref>

===LL.D===
The [[Legum Doctor|LL.D]] degree was offered by PULC in 1890. It was renamed Ph.D. in law in 1986 Since then only three people have been awarded with the Ph.D. in Law(LL.D) degree.<ref>{{Cite web |title=University of the Punjab - All Programs |url=http://pu.edu.pk/program/index/Ph.%20D |access-date=2023-08-07 |website=pu.edu.pk}}</ref>

===PG Diplomas of Law===
The Postgraduate School of Legal Studies also offers a number of different postgraduate diplomas (mostly in evening). They are designed both for Law students and non-law students who want to gain legal knowledge but are not Lawyers/Law students. The diplomas include: Diploma in [[Taxation law]], [[Corporate law]], International [[Commercial law|Trade law]] ([[World Trade Organization|WTO]]), [[Forensic science|Forensic law]] and many more.<ref>{{Cite web |title=University of the Punjab - All Programs |url=http://pu.edu.pk/program/index/Diploma |access-date=2023-08-07 |website=pu.edu.pk}}</ref>

===Admissions===

Getting Admission in every program in PULC is challenging and depends purely on merit. Due to the surprisingly low fee and exceptional facilities, it is the top priority for students who want to pursue Law as a career.

1) Getting admission in LL.B requires hardwork and dedication. Students have to pass their matriculation and intermediate with exceptional marks. Then students have to pass the Law Admission Test (LAT) conducted by the [[Higher Education Commission (Pakistan)|HEC]] under regulations of [[Pakistan Bar Council|PBC]]. After LAT, the students appear in the PU-admission test (USAT). After passing through all these phases, the merit list is displayed and the deserving students are awarded admissions.<ref>{{Cite web |title=University of the Punjab - Quaid-e-Azam- Law - LLB 05-Yrs Self Supporting (Afternoon) Program (Annual System) |url=http://pu.edu.pk/program/show/900397/University-Law-College |access-date=2023-08-07 |website=pu.edu.pk}}</ref>

2) Admission in LL.M is even harder then LL.B because the students have to pass the LL.M entry test, the Graduate Admission Test conducted by [[Pakistan Bar Council|PBC]] and then appear for an interview. After testing their skills, knowledge and dedication, they are admitted in the Masters Program.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-06-08 |title=PU LLM 2023 - Result (Out), Exam Date, Application Form, Eligibility, Syllabus & Exam Pattern |url=https://law.careers360.com/articles/pu-llm |access-date=2023-08-07 |website=Careers360 |language=en}}</ref>
