For the society to work in a proper order, it is of high importance to enforce right laws for individuals to follow. From daily life traffic rules to how the government should work, laws provide society with an order and balanced structure. Our lives are also guided and regulated by rules established by the law authorities. Different kind of laws are present around us, for instance, consumer laws prevent us from buying faulty goods, human rights law help people getting access to their birth rights, criminal law protects the citizens from people who harm others and so on. Hence, it is not just necessary for certain people to get in-depth knowledge about the law and order system and bring into action the required laws but also a responsibility of every citizen to be informed about the law structure of the country, abide by the rules and the laws and become a responsible citizen of the nation.

Thus, we present a list of opportunities for people interested in knowing more about law or those studying law and policy making to experiment and enhance their learning.
