In our opinion, legal education should not be merely academic, but holistic and integrated with practical experience that is necessary for any good lawyer. We aim not only to create good lawyers that aspire for perfection, but also good citizens. Our curriculum is thus, carefully designed to intellectually stimulate, inspire thought, and cultivate and foster skills that are necessary for any lawyer to flourish and shine. Therefore, I consider it a privilege to introduce the batch of 2011-16, which comprises of one hundred and fifty bright, well rounded, talented, skilled, and morally upright young law students, for whom achieving excellence is not only a duty to their conscience, but vital for their integrity.

They have optimally utilized these crucial years to venture into the legal world as interns so as to develop their legal acumen, and acquire the proficiency and insight that only practical experience can give. I am sure that each and every one of them will be a valuable addition and an indispensable asset to the institution they become a part of.
