Dean's Message

The world is undergoing sea change today in every walk of life. Our country's political, social, economic, and cultural landscape is transforming. Law and Legal Education to cater the need and requirements of social transformation are continuously revisited. In such a scenario, it is becoming necessary for educational institutions to explore new avenues and undertake multidisciplinary experiments for the skill-building of graduates and students.

The Faculty of Law, Kalinga University aims to explore and identify novel areas of law and policy through relentless engagement in developing legal theory and practice, academic potential, critical analytical ability, and advocacy skills. This, in turn, fully equips the students with intellectually stimulating and socially vital learning that is professionally enriching. The school adopts a multidisciplinary approach to legal education. It develops a positive attitude in students to make them realize that lawyers are an integral part of the system of adjudication, determination of policies, and setting up standards for regulating various activities through relevant institutions. It, therefore, trains them for placements in judicial and quasi-judicial bodies, regulatory authorities, commissions, voluntary organizations, and other sectors. Our graduates are well-prepared to strive for professional excellence whether the context is a courtroom or legislative hearing, an attorney's office or corporate board room, a state agency, a community centre, or an international conference table. Instruction techniques for students include lectures, problem-based learning, seminars, informal small group discussions, moot court competitions, individually supervised field, library research projects, and various experiential methods. "Clinical" components in case law, and simulated lawyers' tasks, are essential to the programs at Faculty of Law. Warm welcome and best wishes to the all budding lawyers and new generation legal professionals to the School of Law, Kalinga University, New Raipur!
