Law, Leadership and Legal Tech at Manav Rachna University’s School of Law

Across India’s courts, over 5 crore cases await resolution. Proceedings stretch for years, even decades. The backlog continues to grow due to reasons that range from a shortage of judges to procedural bottlenecks, outdated documentation, and limited use of digital tools.

Now imagine an intelligent system that can sort, analyse, and help adjudicate legal documents and arguments with precision and speed. Artificial Intelligence is steadily making that possible. In the legal world, AI-powered tools assist in legal research, streamline contract review, and even predict case outcomes using past precedents. These technologies point to a future where the pace of justice can match the urgency of human rights, business interests, and social harmony.

Manav Rachna University has been awarded the prestigious QS I-Gauge Diamond Rating in Advanced Criteria, establishing it as a centre of innovation, reform, and real-world readiness. At the School of Law, legal education coincided with this future. Ranked 3rd in the Top Outstanding Law School of Excellence Category in Haryana by GHRDC, the School is a centre of innovation, reform, and real-world readiness. Practice is the Pulse of the Learning Experience

Legal knowledge flourishes when ideas are tested in action. At Manav Rachna, the Justice RC Lahoti Moot Court Competition provides exactly that—structured arenas for students to research, argue, and present with rigour and confidence. These competitions sharpen advocacy skills, cultivate critical thinking, and build courtroom readiness from the early semesters.

The School regularly hosts speakers of national and global stature—leaders such as Dr. Kiran Bedi, the first woman in India to join the officer ranks of the Indian Police Service (IPS) in 1972.  and Salman Khurshid, Indian politician, designated senior advocate, author and law teacher —who shares firsthand accounts of challenges, decisions, and reforms. Such engagements offer legal insights that textbooks alone cannot convey. Each session becomes an opportunity to observe law in motion, in practice, in leadership.

The School of Law offers a comprehensive set of programs designed to prepare students for a dynamic legal landscape:

- LL B (3-year program for graduates)

The LL M program offers focused specializations in:

Each program is academically rigorous, yet rooted in practice, with students engaging in real cases, policy reviews, arbitration exercises, and pro bono legal work.

Legal Mentorship from Visionaries

The School is guided by an outstanding Law Advisory Board, including Hon’ble Justice UU Lalit, Hon’ble Justice Gita Mittal, Hon’ble Justice Kailash Gambhir, and Hon’ble Justice Rajive Bhalla. These stalwarts of the Indian judiciary bring decades of jurisprudential wisdom into the academic space.

The presence of Professors of Practice, such as Hon’ble Justice UU Lalit, former Chief Justice of India; Dr. Pavan Duggal, Cyber Law Advocate and Expert, Supreme Court of India; and Prof. SN Srivastava, former Commissioner of Police, Delhi, ensures that students gain an education rooted in real-world legal complexities and evolving interpretations of justice.

Breeding Grounds for Legal Reform

At the Centre of Excellence for Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), students are trained in mediation, negotiation and arbitration, techniques used to solve disputes compassionately and effectively. Because of these efforts, the legal system operates with greater ease and offers prompt remedies without the hold-ups involved in traditional lawsuit procedures

Meanwhile, the Centre for Public Policy, Law and Governance exposes students to intersections between law, governance, and social reform. It prepares future legal professionals to frame, evaluate, and implement policies that strengthen democratic structures.

These centres build capacity for leadership in emerging legal and policy domains—cybersecurity, environmental law, intellectual property, and human rights.

Education Rooted in Ethical Responsibility

The School’s commitment to real-world impact reflects in its legal aid initiatives, community outreach, and pro bono legal services. Students engage in public legal education, rural awareness programs, and support systems for underprivileged individuals who need legal assistance but lack access.

They work with digital law libraries, AI-based research platforms, and contemporary case management tools, learning to integrate technology into their legal practice from the outset.

Through this integrated approach, students gain not only knowledge but also clarity of purpose.

Cultivating Reformers for a Changing Nation

India needs lawyers who can engage with complexity, adapt to technological shifts, and uphold justice in every form—social, environmental, economic, and constitutional. Legal professionals must act as stewards of policy, defenders of rights, architects of reform, and advisors to enterprise.

This is the direction in which Manav Rachna’s School of Law guides its students. From curriculum design to courtroom exposure, from academic mentorship to policy dialogue, every step prepares them for the evolving legal ecosystem.
