Remarks:
offer three year LLB degree course. As the number of students grew, the department established its first Centre as Law Centre – I in 1970 and the second as Law Centre – II in 1971. The LL.B day classes of the Faculty of Law were shifted to newly established Campus Law Centre in 1975. The LL.M. and Ph.D. programmes are looked after directly by the Dean. We pursue the case method of teaching law; the department is not dependent on publishers' new editions of books as the case materials of LL.B. and LL.M. are revised by the faculty members every semester with dedication. Printed copies are distributed to all students without profit. In addition, we have a rich print library with e-resources.The faculty members are drawn with diversified knowledge and experience. Professors from other Universities including foreign Universities visit on various fellowship programs and conduct research in this institution. A number of delegations from foreign universities visit the department to share their knowledge and benefit the students. A few Memorandum(s) of Understanding (MOU) have been signed between the department and corresponding departments of the foreign universities. Law teaching has to be socially relevant, technically advanced and needs to concentrate on newer remunerative branches such as IPRs, insurance, negotiations, information technology and laws relating to wealth generation, finances including taxation shall be touchstone of future. The faculties in the department have been pioneers in developing new fields of law like Intellectual Property, Environmental law, Human Rights education, Gender sensitivity; uplifting women and poverty alleviation for the whole country. The faculties have successfully contributed by way of legislative interventions impacting the lives in fighting dowry deaths, introducing accountability of media in helping establishment of Prasar Bharati Corporation, promoting secularism, ushering rule of law for benefit of females and children and fighting against feudalism and oligarchies. It is desired to rise against female foeticide. The senior faculty members have a longstanding tradition of contributing prestigious books and literature in their fields of specialization which elevates the stature of Delhi Law Faculty as a tall academic leader contributing to the spread of legal knowledge throughout the country by training the trainers. We believe that learning does not end in the class rooms; windows have to be kept wide open to invite different perspectives and expertise from diverse sources and practitioners. National and International Seminars, Conferences and Workshops are organized regularly at the department level and in three Centres to share and deliberate upon legal issues and new ideas. Moot Court competitions, debates, group discussions, client counseling competitions are regular features in the three Centres of the Department. Our aim is to equip students to participate in providing good governance in democratic tradition and outshine the competition in all aspects of life. We consciously cater to the large masses and deprived sections through our 7000 students. I am confident that about 30% of our students outclass the best in comparison to students at high per capita expenditure national law schools with just about one tenth of budget allocations and fee. Our strength lies in the tradition of committed teaching and keenness of our students. The teachers at this department are accessible to discuss course material, legal issues and career goals etc.
