A quick definition of Bachelor of Laws:

Bachelor of Laws: A Bachelor of Laws, also known as LL.B., LLB, or Ll.B., is a degree in law that students can pursue after finishing high school in most common law countries. The LL.B. used to be the primary law degree in the United States, but it was replaced by the Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree in the 1960s. The abbreviation "LL.B." comes from the Latin term Legum Baccalaureus, which means "Bachelor of Laws."

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Bachelor of Laws (abbreviated as LL.B., LLB, or rarely Ll.B.) is an undergraduate law degree. In most common law countries (with the exceptions of all Canadian provinces except Quebec, and the U.S.), the LL.B. program is generally entered directly after completing secondary school. The LL.B. was also historically the primary law degree in the U.S., but was phased out in favor of the Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree in the 1960s.

For example, in the United Kingdom, students can pursue an LL.B. degree after completing their A-levels. In India, students can pursue an LL.B. degree after completing their undergraduate studies.

The LL.B. degree provides students with a foundational understanding of the law and legal system. It covers topics such as contracts, torts, criminal law, and constitutional law. Graduates with an LL.B. degree can pursue careers in law, government, business, and other fields that require a strong understanding of the law.
