LLB stands for **Legum Baccalaureus**, which in Latin means "Bachelor of Laws." It is an undergraduate degree in law granted after the successful completion of a program in law at a university. The LLB is, in many parts of the world, the minimum qualification required by those who intend to become lawyers. The term "Legum" is the plural form of "Lex," Latin for law. The LLB degree typically covers a wide array of legal topics, such as constitutional law, criminal law, contract law, international law, and civil law.
After achieving their LLB, individuals can further pursue legal education or training, such as a Legal Practice Course (LPC) or bar training in their jurisdiction.
In some countries, the LLB is followed by a Master of Laws (LLM), thus allowing specialization in certain legal fields. The LLB is crucial for anyone desiring to be a lawyer or judge or practicing as a professional in the field of law; it also helps form a strong foundation for professions in business, government, or policy making given the broad exposure to legal frameworks.
