Law & Constitutional Studies

The Centre of Post Graduate Legal Studies set up under the Chairmanship of the Dean of the School along with the Senior Professors as per UGC Guidelines to cater the needs of the Post Graduate students and fosters academic excellence and professional competency into the students.

Learning the Law is not easy. We must sharpen a range of skills, including analysis, writing, and persuasion. We also must learn a canon of precedents, concepts, theories, and procedures. As a strong Academic community, committed to our students, we under the aegis of the CePGLS have designed curricula that produce broadly educated lawyers. We have developed an approach to teaching the law that is both challenging and supportive in compliance with the recommendation and guidelines of the apex bodies.

Post graduate education frames the future of academics in every discipline. Apart from imparting knowledge in the subject, it enables students to have free thinking and to equip them to developing their communication skills. Hence, the Centre of Post-Graduate Legal Studies is established to offer advanced and interdisciplinary teaching, learning and research opportunities in law for post-graduate students at the master's level. At the CePGLS, we facilitate and provide avenues to enhance knowledge through advanced study of law. Students get the opportunity to study under the guidance of reputed legal scholars while having access to excellent academic facilities. Students also get ample opportunity to enlighten their analytical mind through research under the able guidance of experienced and dedicated faculty members.

The library, in School of Law and Constitutional Studies forms the intellectual core of the institution with a purpose of self-learning and discovery through research. The Law Library is one of the largest law libraries in the region, not just in terms of the number of titles, but in terms of capacity as well. The library has a wide range of titles covering various fields of study ranging from law to social sciences, Humanities, Management and Commerce. Also have the subscriptions of leading newspapers, magazines and journals. The reference section of the library stocks complete volume sets of the most prestigious and well known journals and compilations in the field of law.

School of Law and Constitutional Studies initiated the Mentor-Mentee Program (MMP) as an informal channel of communication between the students and faculty members with an aim to help the students not only in academic field but also for their settlement in the university environment. Under this MMP program each faculty is appointed as a mentor over 10 students. The assigned mentors meets weekly or as required to their mentees to discuss the issue related to them and try to solve them by their own level. If the matter is non-academic in nature, the mentors are expected to escalate it to the appropriate authorities.

The Constitutional Law Club was established by some of the committed students of SLCS, under the guidance of Prof. (Dr.) A.K. Sharma, Dean School of Law and Constitutional Studies. The Constitutional Law Club has conducted various events i.e. the Celebrations of the Constitutional Day, Human Rights Day and Various in-house seminars on Constitution and Debates.

The School focuses on practical training/learning rather than theory to prepare its student as a good, skilled and confident future lawyer and to build the advocacy skills in them, the School has created a Student's Moot Court Society headed by a senior faculty member with the aim to aware them about the real court room environment, to enhance their critical analytical ability and to create a mooting culture among them so that they can be professionally enriched and fully equipped with a practical learning.
