About Us
Today, legal education has to meet not only the requirements of the Bar but also the new needs of trade, commerce and industry, in the context of growing internationalization of the profession. Hence, the Mission of MATS Law School is to contribute to the better preparation of lawyers as they increasingly engage in transnational or global legal practice, and when they pursue careers other than private practice, including governmental, non-governmental, academic and corporate careers.
MATS Law School will be a place of continual activity, and unrelenting vitality. The array of experiences and opportunities that the Law School offers has no parallel in legal education in India. The range of academic and extracurricular activities, along with the variety of faculty and students, will make each day a potential adventure. MATS Law School's commitment to rigorous and exciting legal training is intimately connected to the MATS University's commitment to path breaking scholarship. Using a wide range of methodologies and bringing to bear insights from numerous other academic disciplines, the faculty of MATS Law School will plumb the depths of everything.
MATS Law School is a place for people who love ideas because ideas make a difference, who want to think about the law's interaction with public policy, who care about how things work and how to improve them, who wish to avail themselves of the diverse opportunities that the legal profession offers to serve the public. We assure you that at MATS Law School, the study of law will not be an arid intellectual exercise. If you are a student here, the School will expect much of you; from the very first day of class, it will challenge you to think and do things you didn't know you could. It will reward you by exposing you to ideas that will captivate and inspire you, by teaching you skills and ways of thought that will serve as the foundation of your career.
