School of Law Justice and Governance
Gautam Buddha University-which has been legislatively conceived as “a centre of excellenceâ€-has started its ambitious multidisciplinary academic programme with the establishment of its School of Law, Justice & Governance in 2011. It is a university for people who have the ideas that make a difference in the world and who love to bring change. The School envisions to foster advancement of learning, teaching and research in the fields of law, justice and governance.
The five-year integrated BA LLB programme has been running since July 2012. To nurture the spirit of innovation and research the university has started its Ph.D programme in 2016 and LL.M program in 2017.
The ongoing programme of the School attempts to strike a right balance between the compulsory subjects prescribed by the Bar Council of India and subjects underscoring the interface between Law, Justice and Governance. The School aims to blend the theoretical knowledge with practical learning and development of skills and professional attitude through clinical legal education.
As the law is increasingly becoming multifaceted and in certain areas more global, so the students are guided to participate in moot-court practice, debate, essay writing and project works. With this, the School also aims to provide an opportunity to the students to explore the undiscovered nuances of legal profession and to engage in setting new standards in legal education.
The department currently employs highly motivated and dedicated full-time academicians, who have doctoral degrees in various fields of law and social sciences from different reputed universities. The Faculty tries to maintain the balance between the classroom teaching and changing practical approach of law and also prepare our student community for the various law related career opportunities.
