About NMIMS, School of Law

Established in the year 2018, SVKM’s NMIMS, School of Law, Navi Mumbai offers two courses, BA-LL.B (Hons.) and BBA-LL.B (Hons.), catering to the growing needs of the legal field. Providing such a choice aims to create diversity in learning. The courses are designed in a manner that in addition to imbibing theoretical knowledge of the law, the students are exposed to the practical facets of the law. It prepares the students for the real world by honing one’s soft skills such as framing and drafting arguments, and interpretation of statutes; whilst keeping in touch with our political and historical heritage, and flexibility with work environments. The school also enables students to explore opportunities for international exposure and global experience, which is imperative in a globalized world. Alongside the same, the school prioritizes co-curricular and extra-curricular activities such as Moot Court Competitions, ADR Competitions, and Seminars. In pursuit of the same, SOL works in committees, each specialized in a certain function and co-curricular activity.

About the Conference

Law as a subject demands constant upgradation and revaluation to adapt to the needs of society today and not be forced to mold society to what the law was when it was made. Despite there being Constitutional mechanisms to cater to this need, the true spirit of this revaluation lies in the analysis and in-depth understanding by the legal fraternity. The Publication and Seminar Committee of SOL, NMIMS, Navi Mumbai wishes to hold a Conference on a niche, rather unexplored topics of law with the same spirit. It is required that all entries be submitted through the Google Form attached below.
