Director’s Message
Changing legal perceptions, both national and international, have necessitated
a re-look at the existing pattern of legal education all over
the world. The emergence of Law Schools/Law Universities in India
has substantially improved the quality of legal education. As our
honourble President has rightly said, the need for highly skilled legal
professionals to adore the Bar, Bench & Corporate sector is imperative
and perennial. It is in this context, GITAM University established the
School of Law at its Visakhapatnam campus.
The School of Law will act as a “pace–setter and a testing ground for
bold experiments in legal education”. The School aims to strive for better
legal education and maintain higher standards of legal research
and training. With its complete administrative and academic autonomy,
together with flexibility for innovation and experimentation in the pursuit
of excellence, the School is sure to emerge as one of the outstanding
institutions of legal learning and research in India.
The fully residential nature of this institution will lay a special emphasis
on soft skills, draftings, pleadings and conveyancing, making a marked
distinction from the traditional Law schools / colleges in India. Besides
this, the School will impart special skills to the students relevant to their
ambitions and attitudes. The School has a very strong and extremely
dedicated teaching faculty with decades of experience in teaching and
research.
“Our motto is to instil cultural, moral and ethical values in the students”
