- LAW has a unique selling proposition, says Prof. S. Shantha Kumar, Director of ITM Law School, ITM University. Only Law graduates can adorn the offices in all the three organs of the Government; namely the Legislature, Executive and the Judiciary. Other graduates may occupy the high offices of Legislature and Executive, but not in the Judiciary, he says. This is precisely the reason why it is often said that a Law degree can open the door to a wide variety of careers, which other degrees might not, Prof. Kumar sums up.
