If you are interested in earning an LLB but hesitant to commit to on-campus classes, an online LLB may be a viable option. This program, also called a Bachelor of Laws, allows students to explore the law, its context and its applications through coursework presented in a web-based classroom.

What is an LLB in Criminal Law? This program, like every LLB, builds foundational knowledge of the law at the undergraduate level. This is done through a curriculum that commonly includes such classes as Introduction to Law, Legal Writing, Family Law, Jurisprudence and Property Law. These core courses are complemented by a focus (in this case, criminal law) that further hones the students’ expertise. Some of the classes for a criminal law emphasis might include Interpreting Evidence, Criminal Rights and Criminal Liability.

These classes can benefit students by preparing them to work in criminal justice. An LLB in and of itself often serves graduates well by imparting critical thinking skills, advanced understanding of persuasion and a robust knowledge of the legal system.

If you are wondering about the costs of such a program, you might contact the admissions office where you plan to attend and request an itemized report of expenses. Common factors include program length, the cost of program materials and program fees.

Of all LLB degrees, perhaps the online LLB in Criminal Law provides the clearest path for a career. If you pursue licensure to practice law, you can work as a criminal attorney for an established firm, or you can open your own practice to do so. Other opportunities potentially available include prosecutor, client advocate, legal consultant and criminal law counselor. Each of these jobs effectively applies the knowledge and skills developed in the program.
