COURSE OVERVIEW

Criminal law is the bedrock of a civilized society. It safeguards individuals and communities by defining acts that cause harm and outlining the consequences for such actions. In 2023, the Parliament passed three new criminal laws namely —the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (BNS), the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS), and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (BSA)—replacing the colonial-era Indian Penal Code (IPC), Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), and Indian Evidence Act (IEA), respectively. 

In lieu of these reforms, Into Legal World presents this “Certificate Course on Practice and Procedure in New Criminal Laws & Special Legislations” to cover substantive and procedural aspects of criminal trials, evidence laws, and special legislations such as the POCSO Act, Domestic Violence Act, and the Sexual Harassment at Workplace Act.  Further, this course isn't just about theory. We'll bridge the gap between legal principles and real-world application.
