Eminent judges and leading lawyers have been associating with the Law School working side by side with a committed band of academicians. NLSIU had a modest beginning in an old building at the Central College Campus of Bangalore University and was shifted to the present campus in Thereafter it has been a period of steady growth and we have now one of the best equipped and beautiful campuses. The Library, i.e. Shri Narayana Rao Melgiri National Law Library is the best Law Library in the country. The entire campus including the hostels is provided with wireless connectivity and as a result, the students can access internet services from anywhere in the Campus and NLSIU is the first Law School to achieve this distinction. All the class rooms are equipped with LCD Projectors and other facilities. There are independent hostels for men and women and being a residential University, all the students have to stay in the Hostels. The Library is kept open till midnight in order to facilitate intensive use of academic resources. There is a well-equipped moot court hall named after Justice M. Hidayatullah, former Chief Justice of India. Every student of NLSIU is expected to participate actively in the moot court activities. Our students have kept the highest Mooting traditions of the NLSIU by excelling in National and International Moot Court th Competitions. For the second time, in the history of Jessup, on 7 April, 2013 NLSIU team consisting of Raag Yadav, Akshaya Ramdurai, Geeta Hariharan and Shreya Jain has won the finals of Jessup Moot Court Competition defeating Singapore Management University (SMU). Raag Yadav was adjudged as the Best Oralist. NLSIU won Jessup for the first time in 1999 and 2013 is the second time that NLSIU has bagged the World Cup in Moot Court. NLSIU, Bangalore to date is the only Law School from India to have won Jessup Memorial Moot Court, NOT ONCE BUT TWICE.

Some of the most exciting competitions, students take part in are client counseling and negotiation competitions, which promote the art of speaking without arguing. This goes a long way in making a successful lawyer. Another aspect of life at Law School is the Legal Services Clinic.

All of them are peer reviewed and have received rave review. All these journals have been handled by the students only. As part of the outreach programmes, NLSIU has renewed the earlier practice of interacting with the law colleges in India in an attempt to extend the academic support to them from time to time. Ms. Anupama Kumar has been awarded the Rhodes Scholarship, th a prestigious scholarship for the year This is for the 18 th time and 8 year in succession that NLSIU students have been selected for the Rhodes Scholarship. 4 (four) of our first year B.A., LL.B. (Hons.) students have won the prestigious Aditya Birla Scholarship. The Aditya Birla Scholars will receive scholarship from Aditya Birla Foundation for their entire studies in NLSIU.

As a result, a student would have completed sixty courses by the time he / she completes the five year term. The wide spread of subjects help our students to acquire extensive and intensive knowledge of our legal system. All subjects are compulsory upto the end of fourth year and optional seminar courses are offered in the final year. These optional seminar courses provide opportunities to specialise in certain areas. For example, a student who wishes to pursue career in corporate law may choose seminar courses on accountancy, securities law, mergers and acquisitions, etc. NLSIU encourages the involvement of outside expertise in offering seminar courses. In recent years, the seminar courses have been offered in subjects such as European Law, Telecommunication Law, Negotiation Skills, International Taxation, Media Law & Ethics, etc. To find out the courses taught at NLSIU and their distribution over the years, please check NLSIU Website: Another significant method of involving scholars from outside is by way of single credit courses.

This also facilitates the nation's otherwise busy leading professionals and academics from foreign Universities to teach at the Law School. These are intensive courses and focus on highly specialised areas of Law. Some of the single credit courses offered at NLSIU during the past couple of years include International Climate Law & Litigation, Law, Economics and Religion: A Rational Choice Perspective, Selected Issues in the Philosophical Foundations of Criminal Law, International Commercial Arbitration, Constitutional Law of the European Union, etc. Various donors have established 14 Endowment Chairs in NLSIU to promote the study of different subjects. These subjects include Constitutional Law, Refugee Law, Corporate Law, International Trade Law, Alternate Dispute Resolution, Intellectual Property Law, Consumer Law, etc. Allen and Overy, a leading British Law firm, has set up the Chair on International Financial Laws and Prof. Philipp Wood, a leading authority on the subject, conducted week's intensive course along with the attorneys of the firm in NLSIU campus under the auspices of the Chair. 12 About NLSIU
