 NALSAR's curriculum is inspired by the UGC Curriculum
Development Committee (CDC) Report. Recommendations of
the CDC have been updated to bring them in consonance with
globalising India, pluralism and social integration and to weave
in concerns of poverty, gender and disability into the legal
curriculum. To aid practical appreciation of issues, Clinical
Legal Education is an integral component of the course
curriculum, which also promotes inter-disciplinarity and
integration between Law, Social Sciences and Humanities.
Teaching Methodology
In order to develop professional skills in budding lawyers,
www.nalsar.ac.in
NALSAR imparts instruction in simulated settings such as
Moot Courts. Individual and one to one interaction is
encouraged. Each student has a Faculty Advisor, who is a
counsellor for curricular as well as co-curricular activities.
Study materials accompany instructions in each course to
promote intensive and interactive learning. Instructions are
given through lectures, seminars, group and individual
tutorials. Skills of reading, research, analysis, writing and
speaking are developed through project assignments and
presentations. Collaborative teaching is undertaken in some
courses to maximise on available expertise and to promote
inter-disciplinary understanding.

Code of Conduct & Academic Responsibility
The University takes a pro-active position on all matters
relating to professional growth and an appropriate Code of
Conduct for the entire University Community - Students,
Faculty and Non-Teaching Staff is in place.
Our expectation is that all members of the NALSAR
family will observe decorum in all their relations with each
other. The University also recognises the indispensability of
statutory provisions in this regard.
In furtherance of its commitment to an environment of
honesty, fairness and mutual respect, NALSAR takes serious
cognisance of acts of misconduct that include cheating in
academic exercises, plagiarism, misrepresentation and
interference of any kind in the access of fellow students to
University services, among others.
The Code of Conduct and Academic Responsibility
consisting of substantive and procedural provisions to sanction
disciplinary action against derogatory acts on the part of any
member of the University community is a part of NALSAR's
policy.

Tuned in Faculty
Teachers at NALSAR build bridges for students to
support them across trying times both in and out of the
classroom. Outside class, these times could be connected
to economic hardship, emotional turmoil, English language
difficulties, confusion about career choices or diversified
counselling for appropriate and reachable career goals. In
class, there is a constant dialogue with students on issues
of contemporary concern and curricula constantly match the
changing times.
Library & Information Services
It is necessary to have not just a library but a rich
library that meets the specific requirements of aspiring
professionals and dedicated teachers. In an attempt to
bridge distance and maximise access to law related
literature, NALSAR is proud of its fully automated library
that provides extensive access to a range of resources.
Disability Access
With a high priority on affirmative action across the
range, NALSAR is very conscious of the need to build
disability access into all its facilities; building, research,
outreach and library resources. In tune with the UGC
mandate, NALSAR has provided resources and access in
Braille.
Diversity is our Strength.
Research
Research enables learning, teaching and sound policy-
making process. Research programmes at NALSAR aim at
providing directions for policy making on child rights,
co-parcenary rights for women, environment protection and
to establish wide-ranging partnerships with different
stakeholders across the country to influence formulation of
policy, strengthening criminal justice and human rights.
Research is our pride and our standards are exacting.
Hon’ble Dr. Justice A.S. Anand former Chief Justice of India and former Chairperson of the National Human Rights
Commission, New Delhi has kindly accepted to be Honorary Professor at NALSAR University of Law.
Overview
International Exchange Programmes
Travel widens horizons and we travel extensively even
while being rooted intellectually. Faculty and Student Exchange
Programmes are in place with Universities in Australia,
Germany, Canada, U.K., U.S.A., Singapore, Switzerland, Israel
and The Netherlands and those under discussion in the
SAARC. These have helped us to connect globally and
regionally, bringing diverse concerns into intellectual life at

Placement Programmes
Internship:
The objectives of the University are motivated by the
goal of producing socially responsible lawyers. Social
responsibility cannot be taught, it has to be learnt. The
University, hence, devises programmes that will bridge the
gap between classroom and social reality. The Placement
Programme of the University is one such effort.
Foreign students on exchange programme at NALSAR
 Students of the B.A., LL.B.(Hons.) Course are placed
with Non-Governmental Organisations, National and
International Institutions and Organisations, Lawyers, Law
Firms, the Office of the Attorney General of India, and
Solicitor General of India, New Delhi, UN Organisations in
New Delhi and Hon'ble Judges of the Supreme Court and
High Courts. The placement is arranged by the University by
liaisoning with these Organisations and finding out the
requirements of the Organisation, the expectations from the
students and the extent to which these expectations could be
fulfilled. Before placements students are given orientation
towards the set up and activities of the Organisations. After
internship is over, the students submit their reports to the
University and these reports are taken into account for next
internships with such organisations. The international
opportunities secured by the students include assignments
with Law Firms like Herbert Smith LLP, UK; Clifford Chance
LLP UK; Morgan & Walker LLP UK.
Graduates of NALSAR
Mr. Aditya Swarup, a student of Final Year of B.A.,
LL.B.(Hons.) won the prestigious Rhodes Scholarship for
pursuing Master's at the Oxford University, U.K. In a decade
since its establishment 1998, the University has produced
three Rhodes Scholars and many other students won other
prestigious Scholarships to pursue their studies in some of
the best Universities abroad. In 2010, Ms. Ruchira Goel
received the Inlachs Scholarship to study at New York
University and Mr. Prasan Dhar received the Felix
Scholarship to study at Oxford.
Seven batches of students have graduated from the
University so far. Several NALSAR graduates have either
completed or currently pursuing higher studies in well known
and reputed foreign Universities which include: Harvard Law
School (U.S.A.); Duke University Law School (U.S.A.);
Leiden University (The Netherlands); Oxford University
(U.K.); London School of Economics (U.K.); Cardiff
University (U.K.); Warwick University (U.K.); King's College
(U.K.); SOAS (U.K.); Cardozo Law School (U.S.A.); Michigan
Law School (U.S.A.); North Western University (U.S.A.);
University of North Carolina (U.S.A.); Arkansas University
(U.S.A.); Michigan State University (U.S.A.); Columbia
University (U.S.A.); Missouri University (U.S.A.); Case
Western Reserve University (U.S.A.); Dalhousie University
(Canada); Mc Gill University (Canada); School of Diplomacy,
(Geneva); University of Dundi, (Scotland) and University of
B.A., LL.B. (Hons.)
Vienna, (Austria).
Recruitment
The graduating students enjoy an outstanding
placement record because Law Firms, Corporates and
Government Agencies know that NALSAR graduates are
equipped with problem solving techniques and practical
hands-on lawyering skills.
Recruitment Process at NALSAR is managed by the
students, through a Committee known as "Recruitment
Coordination Committee (RCC)". The RCC Executive
comprises of 9 members selected by a peer election process
whose primary goal is to facilitate the recruitment of students
of the Final Year. The role of RCC is to provide smooth
interaction between students and prospective employers
which it seeks to do by facilitating internships and on-
Campus recruitment. Ultimately, the success of the RCC as
a body is evidenced by the fact that in the past students from
NALSAR have been successfully absorbed by the best
Firms, Corporate Houses and Non-Governmental
Organisations both in India and abroad.
Recruitment process
The Global Recruitment Programme (GRP) is the
culmination of 5 gruelling years at Law School. At NALSAR,
the winter internships and the GRP are entirely arranged and
coordinated by the student body itself and thus, the terms
and process of recruitment varies from batch to batch. Year
after year Organisations have expressed their satisfaction at
being part of the recruitment programme. Students at
NALSAR continue to surpass the expectations of the

Recruitments at NALSAR are primarily a two step process.
First, all Organisations are invited to give a Pre-Placement
Talk at the University. These talks provide valuable
information and insight as regards the organisational profile.
They also offer an excellent opportunity for Recruiters to visit
our Campus and interact with top notch Faculty and
Students.
The second step of the GRP is the Final Placement.

Centre Head: Prof. M. Sridhar Acharyulu,
MHRD IP Chair Professor
The concept of wealth and the methods of processing
wealth have been changing over time. At present
'Technology' is one of the most important 'wealth
accumulator' and a means by which wealth is possessed.
Since international business is technology-centred, it is
imperative to develop an appropriate legal regime to meet the
challenges of the global economy. India is making great
strides in technology development and utilisation. In terms of
human resources and availability of scientists, India ranks
among the top five nations. With India becoming a member of
the WTO and the consequent rationalisation of reforms in
Intellectual Property Laws, it is necessary to develop
research and advocacy skills to consolidate and improve
Indian business advantage for individuals, communities and
corporations.

Dr. S.P. Chatterjee Centre for Environmental Law
Studies
Centre Head: Dr. K. Vidyullatha Reddy,
Associate Professor of Law
Environmental Law as a branch of study is of recent
origin and has acquired an unprecedented urgency in the
wake of environmental crisis faced by the world. The urgency
is manifold in the case of developing countries with the
pressure on natural resources to feed impoverished
population on the one hand and to work towards a
sustainable environmental policy on the other. The challenge
for the Environmental legal regime in Indian context is to work
towards a sustainable environmental policy. Law Schools
have an important role to play in sensitising the students on
issues of environment and the need for appropriate
intervention through effective laws. It is also important to
carry out continuous research and advocacy on emerging
issues. This requires experiential learning of issues in real life
and to work towards solutions through legislation.

NALSAR Library and Internet Centre
Knowledge at the cutting edge
NALSAR Library is located as an independent building
with three floors and is spacious enough to cater not only the
existing needs but also accommodates resources and
services for future requirements. Our efforts in building and
updating the collection continue unabated and every year on
an average we add more than 3500 Titles to our collection.
Our collection development policy is not constrained by any
boundaries like law and is responsive to the evolving subject
areas and demands from curricula.
Print collection of more than 20392 resources comprises
choicest publications of text books, Indian and Foreign Law
Reports, and Reports in specialised subject areas, Digests,
Encyclopedias, Dictionaries, Compendiums, Manuals and
other Literature.
To keep pace with the emerging publishing trends, the
print resources are augmented by range of Electronic
Resources. Library subscribes Westlaw, Manupatra, JSTOR,
Lexis Nexis and Hein Online. Subscription to the above
Databases provides access to more than 6000 Journals and
Law Reviews. All these databases are accessible from any
terminal in the Campus. Apart from Internet based resources,
we also subscribe to judicial decisions in CD-ROM format.
Supreme Court Cases Online, AIR (Supreme Court and High
Courts), Manupatra case locator, Annual Survey of Indian
Law, Journal of Indian Law Institute, ExCus and Chartered

only confined to bibliographic details, but have active
hyperlinks to table of contents, books reviews, authors notes
and other information. Wireless Internet connectivity is
available in the Library. NALSAR Library is using RFID (Radio

circulation and inventorying.
The Library web page provides users, online information
services such as Selective Dissemination of Information,
Table of contents service, facility of requests and the
provision of saving, email or printing their own bibliographies
on their topic of interest.
The Library portal is designed with dynamic links that
would navigate you through various services. As soon as a
new issue of periodical is received, the table of contents page
is scanned and uploaded on the site, so as to enable the
users to browse the articles of their interest.
To develop more symbiotic relationship with our tech
savy patrons, we have enabled a feature in the software
through which students can also log into their account to view
the books that are overdue and fine amount. There is a
proposal to introduce real time technology based reference
chat service. Students would be encouraged to query the
library staff from anywhere in the Campus and seek answers.
This step would certainly position us in the heart of online
community.
NALSAR Library is also designated as a UN Depository
Library, which entitles us to receive substantial proceedings of
various sessions of significant organs of the United Nations as
well as its Journals. Apart from printed resources online
access is also provided to these resources.
