About Us
 Legal
education never received the attention it deserved in this country. It is a
paradox that
the Constitution ushered in the ideal of rule of law and
adopted the policy of development through
law but little attention was paid to legal studies. For almost
half a century study of law in Indian Universities has
been in doldrums.
It was increasingly realised by the professionals and
academicians that the system of
law teaching was
thoroughly inadequate, unimaginative
and divorced from the major public issues of the day
but attempts to change have that have
been few and far between.
It goes to the credit of Madhya Pradesh Government to realise that the policy
of globalisation and liberalisation opened up new economic and developmental
opportunities for the people. Trans-national and supranational regimes threw new
challenges as much to economics and finance as to law and the legal profession.
A trained cadre of dedicated and informed lawyers is needed to take up the
responsibilities generated by the new developments all over the world.
Large
law firms, professionals and consultants are
needed not only to handle the multi-national
legal issues but also to enrich the
country by taking sensible and profitable national
stance in order to make India a vibrant
and strong economic power in the world. The legislators,
the administrators and business leaders need to have a strong legal background to take up
the emerging challenges and opportunities staring in the face today.
The
National Law Institute University (NLIU) has been established by Act No. 41 of
1997 of the Madhya Pradesh Legislature to fill the gap and providing most
modern legal education through multidisciplinary teaching and training of newer
skills needed for the profession.The University launched its first academic
programme in 1998 and teaching for five year B.A., LL.B. course commenced from
September 1 of that year.
