School of Law
With the emergence of cutting edge technologies, social tools, and interconnected communities, the study of law has transgressed its traditional spheres of influence and assumed importance in a multitude of domains. At the School of Law, Manav Rachna University (MRU), we understand this transdisciplinary application of legal knowledge by offering practice-driven and application based clinical legal education.
We at School of Law provide up to date theoretical and practical education as well as skills centric empirical training to students. With the training under School of Law, the students get a comprehensive understanding of the practical aspects of legal practice in diverse areas.
Having been established in 2017, School of Law is a constituent department of Manav Rachna University (MRU) and offers Bar Council of India (BCI) approved 5 years integrated honours law program and 3 years LL.B program at undergraduate level. LL.M and PhD Programs, duly approved by the UGC and Govt. of Haryana, are offered at post graduate and doctorate level respectively.
Students are offered a choice of electives and specialization in diverse subjects including Criminal Law, Corporate Law, Commercial Arbitration, Constitutional Law and IPR. Practical hands-on experience and experiential learning of students is emphasized through consistent focus on moot court activities and competitions, quality internships, legal aid clinics and camps and visits to institutions of legal significance as part of clinical legal education pedagogy.
