2. AIL REPORTER: Objectives The AIL Reporter is a fortnightly newsletter covering all the events, opportunities and happenings in the Institute. Articles based on the cover story of the issue are invited from the students and publish in the reporter. A legal and a Campus poll are conducted and views of the students as well as the faculty members are incorporated with the results. Recent case laws, legal news and legal phrases are accounted for in the legal section. Leisure section encompasses crosswords, puzzles, movie/music/book reviews and food articles etc. The advent of the satellite television with over 300 channels available at the press of a button, cyberspace revolution and mushrooming multiplexes has changed the way Indians entertain themselves. The Newsletter is a refreshing change from the commonly available sources of knowledge and entertainment as it chronologically presents the achievements of the AILians, their soul stirring experiences and apt opinions on various issues. By evaluating the implications of news and especially legal news, the AIL Reporter endeavours to develop a sense of awareness and conscience among the future lawyers. A generation that ignores its history has no present and no future. As a newsletter, it tries to do its bit to prevent that by connecting the dots of the past to the matrix of the future with columns dedicated to important events in past and their resonance in present. World renowned philanthropist Eli Broad observes, ‘There is no substitute for knowledge. It is impossible to read a paper without being exposed to ideas. And ideas... more than money... are the real currency for success’. Indeed, ideas are special as they have the great potential of inspiring people to aspire for their dreams and achieve them. The AIL Reporter, nonetheless, aims to instill the addiction for knowledge along with a sense of social awareness.

7.3 Best Practices 7.3.1 Elaborate on any two best practices as per the annexed format (see page .. ) which have contributed to the achievement of the Institutional Objectives and/or contributed to the Quality improvement of the core activities of the college.
1) NOVICES MOOT COURT COMPETITION 2) UPLOADING EVERY DETAIL ON THE WEBSITE
Practice No 1
1. Title of the Practice Novices Moot Court Competition
2. Goal Novices Moot Court Competition is conducted every year in the month of Aug-Sept so as to provide Ist year/freshers students first-hand knowledge of Moots. Before the initiation of the Process, a demo moot is organized wherein practicing High Court Advocates and Aluminis in particular are invited so that freshers can interact and get valuable insights from them
3. The Context First year students generally are unaware of the significance of the moot as well as its practical application. Therefore it remains a challenge to motivate and convince them to participate in Novices in the very first semester when they have very limited knowledge of law.
4. The Practice Constraints:
1) Limited knowledge of Law among Ist year students
2) Participation compulsory for every first year student
5. Evidence of Success Novices helped the students in the sense that the Institute has won many Moot competitions every year
6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required Full Faculty involvement as the event requires evaluation of memorials, judging and correction for atleast two/three days.
8. Contact Details Name of the Principal: Dr. Tejinder Kaur Name of the Institution: Army Institute of Law City: Mohali Pin Code: 160062 Accredited Status: not accredited Work Phone: 01725095335 Fax: 01725039280 Website: www.armyinstituteoflaw.org E-mail: [email protected] Mobile: 9872651240
Practice No 2 1. Title of the Practice Uploading every detail on the website
2. Goal The Goal is two-fold: to inform parents about the performance of their wards and to inform students about the upcoming events, information about mid term and semester exams etc
3. The Context Every detail like the beginning of session, attendance , timetable, teaching plans, results of the mid terms and final semester examinations are regularly uploaded on the institution’s website as 80% of the students are the wards of army personal who are posted all over India. Since it is difficult for them to be physically present, this practice communication and information to them through website is extremely helpful to keep attract of their wards’ performance.
4. The Practice Constraint: As most of the parents of the army wards are working in remote areas where there is no access to internet services they are informed by post about the progress of their ward.
5. Evidence of Success Parents and Students generally visit Institute’s website and therefore the Institute deals with less number of queries everyday about the events or information uploaded
6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required 80 percent of the parents are from army therefore sometimes they are not able to update themselves by visiting the website regularly and therefore they are informed by post
