PROSPECTUS FOR FIVE YEARS INTEGRATED B.A. LL.B. (HONS) COURSE (CHOICE BASED CREDIT SYSTEM) 01. INTRODUCTION History of Legal Education in the State of Odisha started in the year 1869 when the diploma in law course for Pleadership licence was introduced in the Ravenshaw Collegiate School, Cuttack. Subsequently the course continued in the Ravenshaw College, In the year 1881, Bachelor of Law Course was introduced in the same College under the Calcutta University. Subsequently Bihar and Odisha was separated and Ravenshaw College remained under the territorial jurisdiction of Patna University. After formation of Odisha as a separate Province in 1936, the Govt. Of Odisha established Utkal University which started functioning from 27th November, 1943.This University took over the Bachelor of Law classes continuing in the Ravenshaw College as its first teaching Department having converted the same into a full-fledged College with its present nomenclature naming it as “Madhusudan Law College” to perpetuate the memory of late Utkal Gourab Madhusudan Das. From 20th July, 1949 it is functioning in its own campus which is very near to the Cuttack Railway Station. M.S. Law College in course of time became the premier taw teaching institute not only of the State but of the country as well. This institution had tremendous contribution in the field of legal education in the State of Odisha by producing eminent Jurists, Lawyers and Law Teachers who have brought name and fame to the institution and also for the nation. This College was functioning in two shifts i.e. morning and evening. Due to pressing demand, a third-shift was started in the institution during the academic session, 1971-1972. As there was no law college at Bhubaneswar, the University shifted the evening shift of M.S. Law College to the Utkal University campus and named it as “Vanivihar Law College” from 1974. In the course of time the nomenclature was changed and at present it is functioning in the name of “University Law College” at Vanivihar, BBSR. Both the colleges enjoy the status of constituent Colleges and are directly managed by the University and functioning as full time institutions. M.S. Law College, Cuttack is offering 3 years LL.B. (H) under Choice Based Credit System ( CBCS), 5 year Integrated B.A. LL.B.(Hons.) and LL.M. course, where as University Law College, Vani Vihar, Bhubaneswar is offering only 3 years LL.B (H) under Choice Based Credit System (CBCS), 5 year Integrated B.A. LL.B. (Hons.) course and LL.M. in Human Rights. Both the Institutions are having their reputation at national and international levels.
