The center is a part of law faculty of Shobhit University, Meerut.
Harvard and Oxford educated Supreme Court lawyer Dr. Surat Singh has been appointed as Chairman of the Center.
Introducing the purposes for which the Center for Law and Good Governance has been set up, Dr. Surat Singh said that since time immemorial, thinkers-both from East and West have wondered about what is the purpose of life and what kind of structures of society will be conducive to achieve the best possible goals of life. Thus law and government should always be guided by the highest goals a society and individuals can aspire for Law and political structure are made to make it possible for society and individual to achieve the highest possible fulfillment and blessedness (Ananda in Sanskrit and Eudemonia in Greek). For this purpose, we need a constant examination and innovation of our legal systems. Like life, Law is dynamic. What may be relevant today may not be relevant after few decades. It is the law which has to adjust to life and not other way round because Laws and structures are made for human beings and not human beings for laws.
Dr. Surat Singh emphasized that we need to bridge the gap between what we need and what we have. The center will reflect upon what kind of laws and systems of governance we have at the moment and what kind of laws and systems of governance we need and we need to do more to make India a great nation and Indian people a good citizenry and world a better place to live.
To advise the center, a team of top legal luminary both from India as well as from other parts of the world have very kindly consisted to be on the advisory council of the center.
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.

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.
