The National Law University-NLU Orissa promises to be an exciting new development in the field of legal education. A very new institution, its establishing Act of legislature was notified as recently as April 2009, entrance examinations were conducted in May, and classes began in July. Already it has made its presence felt both in terms of educational quality as well as in co-curricular activities such as moot courts.
National Law University-NLU Orissa is located in Cuttack, a city dating back to over a thousand years, and also boasting a rich legal heritage – not only is the Orissa High Court situated here, but also some of the finest lawyers and judges of the country trace their roots back to this city. National Law University-NLU Orissa is presently situated in temporary premises along the Mahanadi river, towards the north-west of the city’s present limits. It is scheduled to move to a new purpose-built campus at Naraj, a location being developed as an institutional area.
National Law University-NLU Orissa is heartening to know that despite the very brief time period within which the University was set up, it has received positive responses from across the country. In its very first year, it has admitted students from no less than twenty-two States, representing a diverse range of socio-economic, ethnic, religious and cultural backgrounds. We hope that in the years to come, students from even more divers backgrounds will join National Law University-NLU Orissa, thereby underscoring its truly national character.
At present, National Law University-NLU Orissa is housed in temporary premises, that is to say, premises originally intended for other purposes. Despite this constraint, we have made considerable efforts to ensure this does not handicap us in any manner – neither in academic standards, nor in terms of the quality of life provided to the students. To take an instance, National Law University-NLU Orissa is already fully wi-fi enabled, with routers installed outside almost every room in in academic block and some seven or eight to a floor in the hostels. Other areas of infrastructural development are also being addressed as expeditiously as possible.
The academic block is currently situated in a rented building on the outskirts of the city, along the banks of the Mahanadi river. Already, in merely a few months of after we obtained possession, it can claim infrastructural resources that, while being far from what we consider ideal or even satisfactory, are at least adequate to sustain education and research in reasonable comfort. National Law University-NLU Orissa includes classrooms, a moot court hall, a well-appointed conference hall, faculty and administrative offices, and a snack bar.
National Law University-NLU Orissa provides classrooms are spacious, comfortable, and air-conditioned. They are equipped with the latest in audio-visual equipment, such as LCD projectors and wired sound. Usage of these facilities have been consciously integrated into the teaching curriculum. In most courses, viva voce examinations have been eschewed in favour of presentations. This not only acclimatizes students with public speaking, but also makes them familiar with tools such as PowerPoint and other presentation software, a valuable skillset in today’s professional environment. National Law University-NLU Orissa emphasis on infrastructure also permits recourse to classroom strategies not seen in many law schools in the country. Film screenings are frequently organized in class, which are followed by discussions and brainstorming sessions.
National Law University-NLU Orissa present hostel premises are located at Cantonment Road, about five kilometers east of the Academic Block along the banks of the Mahanadi. Like the Academic Block, this too is temporary; it was originally built as a set of apartments for senior IAS officers, no less! Right now this building accommodates 120 students across six floors. The ground floor contains dining halls and recreation areas equipped with television, table-tennis tables, carrom boards and so on. The space outside the building is given over to games like football and badminton.
Discipline is given considerable priority. Though the present arrangements entail housing boys and girls within one building, great care is taken to ensure that interaction across the genders remains within the bounds of propriety. National Law University-NLU Orissa security arrangements are stringent, in order to ensure the safety and security of residents and their property. Other welfare measures include round-the-clock housekeeping services, broadband wi-fi access, extensive first-aid facilities, and an ambulance on duty 24 hours.
The lifeline of any law school has always been the library. To fulfil that legacy, National Law University-NLU Orissa has created one of the finest law school libraries within its year of inception. Continuous updating of library resources with ease and friendly environment for users are always encouraged at National Law University-NLU Orissa library. We have been successful in instilling in the students the belief that they are the trustees of resources for future generation and that it is their duty to protect and transmit the resources to the new comers. As part of participatory library development, democratic all round participation from members of faculty, students and library management alike is encouraged. In the present era of information technology revolution, library management is not left out from harnessing the benefits of IT. In this regard, it is pertinent to note that at the National Law University-NLU Orissa both the academic as well as residential blocks have been provided with round the clock connectivity through leased line connection using state of the art Wi-fi technology. This in turn enhances the accessibility to e-resources within the University premises at all times and irrespective of the place at which the users are. To enhance accessibility the library functions in two shifts without any break.
To appreciate the significance of National Law University-NLU Orissa and what it aspires to, it is necessary to understand the background in which it was set up. There was a time when integrated five-year law courses were looked upon as a novelty. This is no longer true. More than twenty years have passed since the first such course was established, and now the concept is regarded as commonplace. Indeed, no less than nineteen dedicated public and private law colleges, not to mention the law departments of numerous larger universities, have come to offer integrated five-year courses.
This serves to throw a singular challenge to new law schools. Previously, the very fact that National Law University-NLU Orissa offered a five-year integrated course would have automatically established it as a centre of excellence. Now, in this crowded and even competitive scenario, an institution must earn this recognition. And the only way it can do so is by achieving genuinely high standards of legal pedagogy and research.
The study of Law offers myriad career choices; a solicitor, judge, counsel, legal consultant and perhaps even activist; all of which, intellectually engaging as they are, require one to work with, and maybe even for society. The National Law University-NLU Orissa, keeping in mind the necessity of multi-disciplinary skills required of such enterprise, offers co-operative learning opportunities through joint degree programmes infused with innovatively designed course curricula. The undergraduate programme at the National Law University, Orissa is devised for competent students willing to pursue legal studies in a highly challenging yet conducive academic environment. At the moment, National Law University-NLU Orissa offers two Joint Degree programmes, namely B.B.A.LL.B and B.A.LL.B. And the college also offers Master of Law, Doctor of Philosophy.
