ABOUT CLAT 2015

CLATCOMMON LAW ADMISSION TEST

2015

B.A., LL.B. (Hons.) PROGRAMME

Introduc"on

Na!onal Law School of India University (NLSIU) is the

first Indian University, established exclusively for legal

studies and research. The Na!onal Law School of India

Act, 1986, passed by Karnataka Legislature, provided the

statutory basis to this University. It became func!onal in

1988. Sponsored by the Bar Council of India, NLSIU

represents the unique partnership between and among

the Bar, Bench and Academia. Eminent judges and leading

lawyers have been associa!ng with the Law School

working side by side with a commi$ ed band of

academicians.

NLSIU had a modest beginning in an old building at

the Central College Campus of Bangalore University and

was shi)ed to the present campus in 1991. Therea)er it

has been a period of steady growth and we have now one

of the best equipped and beau!ful campuses. The Library,

i.e. Shri Narayana Rao Melgiri Na!onal Law Library is the

best Law Library in the country. The en!re campus

including the hostels is provided with wireless

connec!vity and as a result, the students can access

internet services from anywhere in the Campus and NLSIU

is the first Law School to achieve this dis!nc!on. All the

class rooms are equipped with LCD Projectors and other

facili!es.

There are independent hostels for men and women

and being a residen!al University, all the students have to

stay in the Hostels. The Library is kept open !ll 3 AM in

order to facilitate intensive use of academic resources.

There is a well-equipped moot court hall named

a)er Jus!ce M. Hidayatullah, former Vice-President of

India and former Chief Jus!ce of India. Every student of

NLSIU is expected to par!cipate ac!vely in the moot court

ac!vi!es. Our students have kept the highest Moo!ng

tradi!ons of the NLSIU by excelling in Na!onal and

Interna!onal Moot Court Compe!!ons.

The outstanding performance in Willem C. Vis

Interna!onal Commercial Arbitra!on Moot, Vienna and

very recently in Hong Kong Interna!onal Commercial

Arbitra!on Moot have brought glory to Na!onal Law

School of India University. NLSIU, Bangalore ,todate, is

the only Law School in India to have achieved the

dis!nc!on of winning Jessup World Cup twice, one in 1999

Various donors have established 16 Endowment

Chairs in NLSIU to promote the study of different subjects.

These subjects include Cons!tu!onal Law, Refugee Law,

Corporate Law, Interna!onal Trade Law, Alternate Dispute

Resolu!on, Intellectual Property Law, Consumer Law, etc.

Allen and Overy, a leading Bri!sh Law firm, has set up the

Chair on Interna!onal Financial Laws and Prof. Philipp

Wood, a leading authority on the subject, conducted

week's intensive course along with the a$ orneys of the

firm in NLSIU campus under the auspices of the Chair.

The NLSIU has well-developed research centres in

Juveni le Jus! ce, Inte l lectual Property Rights ,

Environmental Law, Women and the Law, Child and the

Law, Social Exclusion and Inclusive Policy, Advanced Centre

on Cyber Law & Forensics among others.

Course Structure

NLSIU follows a trimester system whereunder an

academic year is divided into three parts and four subjects

are taught in each trimester. As a result, a student would

have completed sixty courses by the !me he / she

completes the five year term. The wide spread of subjects

helps our students to acquire extensive and intensive

knowledge of our legal system. All subjects are

compulsory upto the end of fourth year and op!onal

seminar courses are offered in the final year. These

op!onal seminar courses provide opportuni!es to

specialise in certain areas. For example, a student who

wishes to pursue career in corporate law may choose

seminar courses on accountancy, securi!es law, mergers

and acquisi!ons, etc. NLSIU encourages the involvement

of outside exper!se in offering seminar courses. In recent

years, the seminar courses have been offered in subjects

such as European Law, Telecommunica! on Law,

Nego!a!on Skills, Interna!onal Taxa!on, Media Law &

Ethics, etc. To find out the courses taught at NLSIU and

their distribu!on over the years, please check NLSIU

Another significant method of involving scholars

and another in 2013 and Manfred Lachs Moot Court

Championship twice, one in 2009 and another in 2012.

Our students have dis!nguished themselves in other

Na!onal and Interna!onal Moot Court Compe!!ons,

Debate compe!!ons, Quiz programmes, etc.

One of our graduates Mr. Basavanagouda S. Pa!l has

been awarded the SILF MILAT Best Law Student in

recogni!on of the outstanding performance in scholarship

and professionalism on the part of students pursuing the

LL.B. programme in the Law Colleges of SAARC region.

In fact, one of the core ingredients of the NLSIU life is

vibrant deba!ng, moo!ng and conference culture. Some

of the most exci!ng compe!!ons students take part in are

client counseling and nego!a!on compe!!ons, which

promote the art of speaking without arguing. This goes a

long way in making a successful lawyer. Another aspect of

life at Law School is the Legal Services Clinic. One of the

avowed objec!ves of the Legal Services Clinic is to bridge

the gap created between the legal procedures and the

commons man. In pursuance of the same, the Legal

Services Clinic took up several ini!a!ves, including but not

limited to, Prisons Project which involved providing legal

aid to the under-trial prisoners, organising street plays and

also conduc! ng Legal Literacy Programs around

Bangalore. In fact LSC handled more than 100 cases the

previous academic year alone.

The Na!onal Law School of India Review, The Indian

Journal of Law and Technology, Socio-Legal Review and the

Indian Journal of Interna!onal Economics Law - these are

the four pres!gious journals being published from the

NLSIU. All of them are peer reviewed and have received

rave reviews. All these journals have been handled by the

students only.

As part of the outreach programmes, NLSIU has

renewed the earlier prac!ce of interac!ng with the law

colleges in India in an a$ empt to extend the academic

support to them from !me to !me.

Mr. Raag Yadava has been awarded the Rhodes

Scholarship, a pres!gious scholarship for the year 2014.

This is for the 19 !me and 9 year in succession that NLSIUth th

students have been selected for the Rhodes Scholarship.

3 (three) of our first year B.A., LL.B. (Hons.) students

have won the pres!gious Aditya Birla Scholarship. The

Aditya Birla Scholars will receive scholarship from Aditya

Birla Founda!on for their en!re studies in NLSIU. At the

moment, there are 13 Aditya Birla Scholars pursuing their

under-graduate studies in NLSIU, Bangalore in different

years of study.

NATIONAL ACADEMY OF LEGAL STUDIES AND RESEARCH

(NALSAR) UNIVERSITY OF LAW, HYDERABAD

About the University

The Na!onal Academy of Legal Studies and Research

(NALSAR) University of Law in Hyderabad was established

in 1998. It is an autonomous educa!onal ins!tu!on

engaged in teaching, research and extension ac!vi!es in

law and allied disciplines. The full-!me students reside in

the campus which is spread over 50 acres and is adjacent

to the Shameerpet Lake, located at a distance of 26

kilometers from the city of Hyderabad. With a spacious

and well-stocked Library, internet access in the student

hostels, Moot Court Hall, conference venues, auditorium

and sports facili!es, the campus enables the all-round

development of students.

In a short span of 16 years, NALSAR has emerged as a

leading des!na!on for legal educa!on in India and its

graduates have made a mark in career avenues such as

li!ga!on, the judicial services, teaching, research, social

advocacy, interna!onal organisa!ons and transac!onal

lawyering among others. It has been ranked as the No.1

law school in India as per the India TodayNielsen Survey

for the years 2008, 2011 and 2013. It was ranked as the top

law school by Outlook Magazine in 2012. Over the last

decade, it has been consistently ranked among the top two

law universi!es in India. Graduates from this ins!tu!on

have received pres!gious scholarships such as the Rhodes

Scholarship to study at Oxford University (2003, 2007,

2010, 2011, 2013 and 2015), the Gates Cambridge

Scholarship (2012), Scholarship to study Air and Space Law

at Leiden University, Netherlands (2012), Commonwealth

Scholarship (2011), Felix Scholarship (2011) and the Young

India Fellowship (2011) among others. Beginning in 2012,

incoming students have secured the Aditya Birla

scholarships with as many as four students receiving it in

2014. Since its incep!on, teams from this ins!tu!on have

won a large number of domes!c moot court compe!!ons.

Teams represen!ng NALSAR have reached the semi-finals

(top four) at the world rounds of the pres!gious Philip C.

Jessup Interna!onal Law Moot held in Washington, D.C.

(U.S.A.) in 2006 and 2010. In 2012, its' teams emerged

victorious at the 19 William C. Vis Interna!onalth

Commercial Arbitra!on Moot held in Vienna (Austria) and

at the Monroe E. Price Oxford Media Law Interna!onal

Moot held in England.

Courses offered

The progress of the ins!tu!on has been shaped by

an insistence on holis!c 'jus!ce' educa!on which exposes

students to the different facets of legal systems and how

they interact with public policy, social ins!tu!ons and

markets. In other words, the university's ac!vi!es try to

emphasize interdisciplinary linkages that enable its'

faculty members, students and researchers to both

understand and cri!que the ra!onale behind legisla!on,

execu!ve acts and judicial decisions while also developing

the ability to propose construc!ve solu!ons for socio-

economic problems. This is informed by a strong belief in

the norma!ve poten!al of the law.

5 year B.A., LL.B. (Hons.) programme

Among the full-!me taught programmes, the 5-year

integrated B.A., LL.B. (Hons.) programme has swi)ly

acquired an enviable reputa!on, especially since

Prof. (Dr.) Faizan Mustafa

Vice-Chancellor

Registrar

14

admissions to the same are conducted through the highly

compe!!ve Common Law Admission Test (CLAT). Every

year, the ins!tu!on welcomes a group of very bright

students who have to navigate a challenging yet engaging

curriculum that helps them to acquire knowledge while

also honing their research, wri!ng and public speaking

skills. The undergraduate students are required to

accumulate credits by pursuing the mandatory courses

prescribed by the Bar Council of India (BCI) during the first

three years and therea)er op!onal courses devised by the

University. Beginning in 2012, the curriculum has

undergone considerable change and gives students a lot of

flexibility in choosing subjects. This allows them to deepen

their learning in certain areas while also benefi* ng from

the ongoing research ac!vi!es of faculty members. The

founda!onal courses in History, Poli!cal Science,

Economics, Sociology and English offered during the first

two years are built upon in inter-disciplinary elec!ve and

seminar courses offered during the fourth and fi)h year.

Among the op!onal courses, lecture-based elec!ves

and research-based seminars with varying credit loads are

offered to the students. While most of them are offered by

regular faculty members, the University invites eminent

judges, lawyers, scholars and alumni to teach shorter one-

credit courses to expose students to current legal

developments and new scholarship. Each credit is

equivalent to 16 hours of class teaching. The op!onal

courses offered during 2014 include the following:

l Applied Jurisprudence

l Business Environment

l Business Ethics

l Communica!on and Conflict Resolu!on Skills

research skills of a high order. Students are required to

undertake different kinds of assignments, such as

preparing research papers, film reviews, genera!ng a

survey of literature, book reviews, legisla!ve analysis,

case-comments and posi!on papers among others.

1 year LL.M. programme

Beginning with the 2013-14 academic year, the

LL.M. programme has been shortened to dura!on of one-

year, in line with interna!onal prac!ces. This implies that

the programme has become quite intensive and includes a

combina!on of taught courses as well as sustained

research work. As per the guidelines laid down by the

University Grants Commission (UGC), a student must

complete three mandatory subjects, six op!onal subjects

and a disserta!on as part of the one-year LL.M.

programme.

NALSAR allows its LL.M. students to build their own

areas of specializa!on in accordance with their academic

NALSAR UNIVERSITY OF LAW, HYDERABAD

2015

interests and career plans. Out of the six op!onal courses,

each student has to complete at least four op!onal

courses in their preferred area to obtain a specializa!on.

At present, there are six specializa!ons on offer to

postgraduate students, namely those in

(1) Legal Educa!on, Pedagogy and Research,

(2) Corporate and Commercial Laws,

(3) Intellectual Property Laws,

(4) Interna!onal Business and Trade Laws,

(5) Personal Laws and

(6) Public Law and Legal Theory.

Note: The papers under each specializa!on will be

made available in accordance with the exigencies of

semester schedules and subject to the university rules on

the minimum number of enrolments required for a paper.

Students who opt for subjects cu* ng across these

clusters can also acquire a general LL.M. degree. While the

LL.M. programme is primarily meant to prepare students

for careers in teaching and research, NALSAR recognizes

that it can serve as the fulcrum for advanced learning in a

variety of professional se* ngs. LL.M. students are also

given opportuni!es to work as Teaching Assistants for the

mandatory subjects taught to the undergraduate

students. In recent years, quite a few LL.M. graduates have

also been absorbed in the faculty.

M.Phil and Ph.D. Programmes:

Nevertheless, there is a strong emphasis on research

programmes, with postgraduate students having the

op!on to move on to the One Year M. Phil. programme and

eventually the Ph.D. programme. In the long-run, the

quality of a university is gauged by the range and depth of

the scholarship produced by its faculty members and

research scholars. Hence, efforts are being made to

improve the standards of legal scholarship in India through

these research programmes. The applica!on details for

these research programmes are usually made available on

the NALSAR website on an annual basis.

2 year full-"me M.B.A. programme:

In a pioneering move among the autonomous law

universi!es, NALSAR started a two-year M.B.A. (Master's

in Business Administra!on) programme in 2013 with the

aim of integra!ng higher educa!on in laws and

management studies with specializa!ons in Court

Management, Corporate Governance, Financial Services

& Capital Markets, Sustainability and Innova!on

Management, Marke!ng Management, Human Resource

Management and Business Regula!ons.

Innova"ve Programmes for Professionals:

To broaden the areas of learning at the University,

ini!a!ves have been taken such as the launch of a 2-year

Masters' degree in Avia!on Law and Air Transport

Management and a 2-year Master's Degree in Space and

Telecommunica!on Laws. These are in the nature of

execu!ve programmes which are targeted at working

professionals from the respec!ve sectors. So far, they have

elicited a very favorable response from experts in these

fields. Faculty members from NALSAR are also involved in

delivering a 2-year Master's Degree in Taxa!on and

Business Laws for proba!oners of the Indian Revenue

Service (IRS) at the Na!onal Academy of Direct Taxes

(NADT) in Nagpur. To reach out to a larger sec!on of the

public, the University also offers Post-Graduate Diplomas

in several areas that have prac!cal relevance, namely

Patent Laws, Media Laws, Cyber Laws, Interna!onal

Humanitarian Law, Avia!on Law and Air Transport

Management (PGDALATM) and GIS & Remote Sensing

Laws. These diplomas are transacted through periodic

contact classes with examina!ons held at the end of the

academic year. They are open to graduates from

disciplines other than law as well. In addi!on, Post-

Graduate Diplomas in Alterna!ve Dispute Resolu!on

(ADR) and Family Dispute Resolu!on (FDR) are offered as

part-!me courses in collabora!on with the Interna!onal

Centre for Alterna!ve Dispute Resolu!on (ICADR) unit in

Hyderabad.

Collabora"ons with Foreign Universi"es

compara!ve and interna!onal dimensions of higher

educa!on, the University has signed Memorandums of

Understanding (MoUs) with as many as 29 foreign

Universi!es located in the United States of America,

Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland,

Australia, Israel, The Netherlands and Singapore for

purposes such as exchange of faculty members, students

and collabora!ve research projects. These partnerships

enable faculty and students at NALSAR to develop a rich

understanding of legal cultures from other parts of the

world and consequently enhance the quality of

discussions and scholarship in the ins!tu!on.

Research Centres:

To create support structures for advanced learning

and crea!ve scholarship, NALSAR has set up dedicated

16

research centres whose ac!vi!es are co-ordinated by

senior faculty members. These include the M.K. Nambyar

SAARC LAW Centre, Centre for Air and Space Law, Centre

for Environmental Laws, Centre for Tribal and Land Rights,

Centre for Corporate Laws and Governance, Centre for

Disability Studies, Centre for Legal Philosophy and Jus!ce

Educa!on, Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Centre and

the Centre for Family Laws. The broad mandate of these

centres is to produce scholarly publica!ons, policy

recommenda!ons and newsle$ ers connected to these

areas apart from organizing guest lectures and discussions

to build awareness about them. There are several ongoing

research projects that are anchored by faculty members.

For instance, in 2013, NALSAR was chosen by the Ford

Founda!on to conduct a three-year study for 'Knowledge

based interven!ons to strengthen the realiza!on of Socio-

Economic Rights'. The University is also part of the Global

Internet Governance and Advocacy (GIGA) project under

As part of its social outreach programmes, NALSAR

frequently provides specialized training to para-legals,

government officials and resource-persons from Non-

Government Organisa!ons (NGOs). The Legal Aid Centre

organizes legal literacy programmes at different loca!ons

and facilitates access to legal advice and representa!on for

the poor in collabora!on with the State Legal Services

Authority and the State Human Rights Commission.

Publica"ons:

NALSAR currently publishes as many as nine

scholarly journals on an annual basis. The NALSAR Law

members. There are several student-edited journals which

have a$ racted high-quality submissions.

competent faculty, comprising of a good mix of

experienced scholars and young talent. The faculty has

been drawn from pres!gious na!onal and interna!onal

universi!es. Addi!onally, NALSAR also has an open door

Learning & Teaching Methods

We believe that learning how to learn law is more

meaningful than learning law for if we give a fish to a

woman, we feed her for a day; but if we tell her 'how to

fish, she will feed her for the whole life. We strongly

believe that in the class rooms the students and teachers

create knowledge' rather than the teacher transmi* ng

knowledge to the students. We learn law both as it is and

as it ought to be. Ought to be approach is supplemented

with the methods of social sciences and humani!es Case

method and Socra!c method of learning and teaching are

the characteris!c features of the class room discussion.

Moot court compe!!ons, client counseling skills,

language and computer proficiency are the regular and

vibrant features of NLIU. Constant and persistent

endeavors are made to keep abreast with the current

na!onal and interna!onal teaching prac!ces and to

ensure that the curriculum meets the needs, challenges

and opportuni!es of legal educa!on in the twenty-first

century.
