About College:

An Institution of Excellence in Legal Education and Research

The concept of a national law institution to act as a “pace-setter and a testing ground for bold experiments in legal education” came up before the Bar Council of India in the context of the Council’s statutory responsibility under the Advocates’ Act, 1961 for maintaining standards in professional legal education. The idea was transformed into reality by the Legal Education

Committee of the Bar Council of India and eventually assumed the character of an autonomous institution with “Deemed University” status from the University Grants Commission. Since its conceptualization and over the years the co-operation of the Karnataka Government and the Bangalore University and the initiatives of senior members of the Bar Council of India as well as that of Karnataka State Bar Council gave the project distinct possibilities of realization. The idea gained more supporters in course of time both within and outside the Council who worked at different levels to establish the institution in the interest of better legal education and higher standards of legal research and training. The promoters of the institution finally succeeded after thirteen long years of suspense and uncertainty, when the Karnataka Government established on August 29, 1987 through a Gazette Notification, the National Law School of India University at Bangalore under the National Law School of India Act (Karnataka Act 22 of 1986). The Act is a unique piece of legislation, which incorporates complete administrative and academic autonomy together with flexibility for innovation and experimentation in the pursuit of excellence by the University.
