NALSAR University of Law has proved to be the most preferred destination for aspiring lawyers from across the country. The University consistently attracts the best faculty and the crest of students for its Bachelors, Masters and Doctoral programmes. NALSAR has a rich tradition of pursuing excellence and has continually re-invented itself in terms of academic excellence. Students are exposed to research based academics and a host of sporting, cultural and organizational activities on its vibrant Campus.

NALSAR has good research culture which is committed to the assessment of law in all its diversity. We have two, mutually supporting and overlapping perspectives, each of which draws upon a classic inclination in legal scholarship to investigate fresh possibilities for the place of law in the communities it serves.

The primary perspective, rooted in our commitment to the philosophy of law, asks what is right and good in global justice, Public Law and Criminal Law. The second investigates the internal structure of law as it operates in practice, so as to picture the ways in which law fall short of what it promises, particularly in areas such as Competition Law, Banking and Finance, Property Law and Intellectual Property Rights. In this regards students of NALSAR explore the possibilities in which law might be part of the solution, and also endeavours to explore the possibilities in which law has become part of the problem.

We highly value our partnership with Recruiters, Alumni and friends of NALSAR and remain committed to making your recruiting experience productive and positive. I invite the recruiting organizations and graduating students to find the best match between their needs and capabilities. Wish you all the best!

Prof. Vijender Kumar Professor of Law & Commonwealth Fellow, UK (2009-10) Head, Centre for Family Law

National Academy of Legal Studies and Research (NALSAR), Hyderabad has played a significant role in providing legal manpower and knowhow to the country and in the pursuit of research since its establishment in the year 1998. The University is fully residential and conducts teaching in law and allied disciplines. NALSAR ranks among the best legal institutions in the country and has contributed to all sectors of legal development.

The University offers strong and comprehensive bachelors degree course in Law and post graduate degree courses in Law which include Corporate Law & Governance (including International Business), Intellectual Property Rights, International Trade & Business Laws and Criminal Law. NALSAR University of Law has maintained a new outlook in the way the courses in LL.M are designed. Law has been one of the major fields where the impact of globalization has been felt in the form of the emergence of a new field known as International Law. The range and interest of international legal problems with which a lawyer in any office - whether a beginner or a veteran - is daily confronted is unmatched. For the most part, that practice - whether in law firms or in corporate law departments, the practitioner largely will deal with his or her national law and its interactions with foreign law and foreign clients, and the international flow of people and ideas and investments. Questions of international law may be encountered: questions of sovereign immunity, immigration, asylum, expropriation, the interpretation of treaties of commerce and navigation and of bilateral investment treaties, and so forth.

Through the excellence of its academic programs in LL.M, the strength of its faculty and support services, and the range of students' activities, the Institute provides opportunities for the fullest possible development of potential of all students who have diverse backgrounds to handle the field of International Law.

It is our great privilege to invite you to visit our University for Campus Placement of our PG students passing out in May 2012 and provide them an opportunity to demonstrate their capability, intellect and professional readiness to get inducted in your organisation. The University has adequate infrastructure to support every stage of the placement process viz. arrangements for pre-placement talks, written tests, interviews, group discussions, etc. as per the requirements of the visiting organisations.

I look forward to your visit for Campus Recruitment at our University.

Prof V. Balakista Reddy Professor of International Law and Head, Centre for Air & Space Law & Co-ordinator M.K. Nambyar SAARC Law Centre 6 Why LL.M?

As the expression itself connotes, Master of Law is the course which imparts and equips the student of law to attain mastery on the subject of law and its domain. LL.M, particularly one with specialisation, aids in understanding the intricacies of the particular category of law in much better way. And accordingly sets the student at higher pedestrian on the strata of understanding the category of law in which he/she is specialised. Law students at graduation level are taught law in the generic sense to create a holistic understanding of the legal field. But in LL.M they are given a turn towards specialisation so that they could be able to deal with a problem before him/her, concerning his/her field of specialisation, with greater acumen and precision. The world in which we live is the world of specialisation which demands that each professional should have an in-depth and thorough understanding of the field to which he/she concerns. Such maturity of understanding could well be attained in an area of law by the help of the masters' degree in law. In this regard, Sir Ronald A. Fisher observation is worth noticing, he observed “An age of extreme and unparalleled specialisation, such as that in which we live, needs above all the steadying influence of a firm grasp on principles.” Such firm grasp in principles of law for the purpose of solving increasing complexity of the legal world can be best attained by student having mastery of law.
