SYMBIOSIS LAW SCHOOL

In November 2017, the Symbiosis Law School (SLS) hosted 100 deans of law institutes from around the world at the International Association of Law Schools (IALS) Global Law Deans’ Conference, making it the first forum in India to bring a large number of international legal experts in one platform. The conference reiterated the institute’s emphasis on international education and exposure since its inception in 1977. “The institute has collaborations with 54 law schools across the world with at least two academics from renowned universities teaching at SLS every semester and 100 international students pursuing their studies here,” says Shashikala Gurpur, Director. A progressive curriculum that incorporates developments in the legal field from across the globe, state-ofthe-art infrastructure, competent faculty and frequent interactions with legal experts are highlights of the law school. In 2010, SLS pioneered a certificate programme on European Legal Studies. From the first year itself, students work with a scholar from the US, trained in clinical legal education, who imparts mooting, drafting and research skills to students. Ranked first in the Mooting Premier League in 2017, the students are encouraged to participate in at least five moots during the five-year course. The curriculum also includes four alternative dispute resolutions (ADRs) to hone negotiating and communication skills, research writing, field visits alongside co-curricular and extra-curricular activities.
