Knowing about the law means you can be careful about not breaking it
I find the University Institute of Legal studies at Chandigarh University has established itself as a premier institute for law studies in India and dedicated to prepare lawyers of tomorrow for handling legal issues not only restricted to the national boundaries but also cutting across complex cross-border transactions, by developing legal skills in core areas such as Business Laws, Intellectual Property Rights, Cyber Laws, and Trade Laws. Chandigarh University is the best place for study and learning in law, developing in students, understanding about the law and legal system, topographies of law-making, legal practice, and administration. The University is committed to providing interdisciplinary and practical/application based legal education keeping in view the requirements of overall developments of its students. Through this education, Chandigarh University aims to promote legal and ethical values and foster the rule of law and the objectives enshrined in the Constitution of India. Furthermore, the University works toward the dissemination of legal knowledge and its role in national development, so that the ability to analyze and present contemporary issues of public concern and their legal implications for the benefit of the public is improved. The University also has student exchange programs with various top law schools in the world. The teaching methods adopted for the Degree programme are such as to promote multi-disciplinary inquiry and practical appreciation of problems. The method of teaching involves lectures, discussions, case studies, Moot Courts and project work. An innovative feature of the teaching method followed by Chandigarh University is cooperative teaching. This is particularly useful for the multidisciplinary analysis of socio-legal problems. Faculty at the University Institute Of Legal Studies are very accessible. With an excellent faculty-student ratio, the law school provides an exciting opportunity for the students to interact with their teachers. Each student is given a set of reading materials containing the course outline, teaching plan, reading lists and a fairly large volume of study materials in respect of each course. They consist of case studies, judicial decisions, articles, and excerpts from reports. With this material, the students are expected to come prepared for the classes and actively participate in classroom discussions.
