Common Law Admission Test, CLAT-2009
The concept of a National Law School to act as a
pace-setter and a testing ground for bold experiments
in legal education came up before the Bar Council of
India in the context of the Council's statutory
responsibility for maintaining standards in professional
legal education under the Advocates Act, 1961. The
Bar Council of India, representing the organized legal
profession at all India level, took initiative in
establishing the first National Law School in
Bangalore. The success of National Law School of
India University, Bangalore, has inspired many States
to set up similar institutions in their respective
territories and at present, there are twelve National
Law Schools in different parts of the country. These
institutions are national in the sense that substantial
number of seats in all these institutions are filled up by
students from all over India and the academic staff are
also recruited on all India basis. Till 2007 each National
Law School conducted admission test in different
centres spread all over the country and thousands of
students after their ten plus two examinations took
these multiple admission tests at considerable
expense and inconvenience.
In order to avoid the hardship faced by the students
in taking number of tests for admission to individual
Universities and in view of the direction of the Supreme
Court in the case of Varun Bharat v. Union of India,
initiative was taken jointly by the University Grants
Commission, Ministry of HRD and the National Law
Universities for conducting a Common Law Admission
Test (CLAT) for admission to different National Law
Universities in the Country.
A Memorandum of Understanding was signed by
seven National Law Universities namely NLSIU,
NALSAR, NLIU, WBNUJS, NLU, HNLU and GNLU on
23rd November, 2007 for conducting the Common Law
Admission Test (CLAT). It was agreed by the
Committee consisting of all the Vice-Chancellors that
the test would be conducted by the National Law
Universities by rotation on the basis of seniority.
Accordingly, CLAT-2008 was conducted by National
Law School of India University (NLSIU), Bangalore
and CLAT-2009 will be conducted by NALSAR
University of Law, Hyderabad.
The experience in CLAT-2008 has been that a
larger the catchment area, provides better quality of
students. Therefore, in addition to the existing seven
National Law Universities, the following four National
Law Universities have joined CLAT-2009:
w Dr. Ram Manohar Lohiya National Law University,
Lucknow
CLAT-2009
CLAT-2009
w Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law, Punjab
w Chanakya National Law University, Patna
w National University of Advanced Legal Studies,
Kochi

National Law School of India University (NLSIU), Bangalore
B.A.,LL.B. (Hons.) Programme
INTRODUCTION
National Law School of India University (NLSIU) is
the first Indian University, established exclusively for
legal studies and research. The National Law School of
India Act, 1986, passed by Karnataka Legislature,
provided the statutory basis to this University. It
became functional in 1988. Sponsored by the Bar
Council of India, NLSIU represents the unique
partnership between the Bar, Bench and Academia.
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 1991.
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. Sri Narayana Rao Melgiri
National Law Library is rated as 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 through their
laptops 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 upto 12
p.m. so as 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. The students have
by and large done very well in various international and
national moot court competitions. In recent times, there
are other related competitions such as arbitration moot,
negotiations, client counseling, parliamentary debate
etc. NLSIU students have been very active in all these
competitions both at national and international levels.
During 2007-08, NLSIU has launched its own
international arbitration moot and in this competition
there were participants from the U.K., Pakistan,
NLSIU - Bangalore
CLAT-2009
Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. NLSIU emphasizes co-
curricular and extra-curricular activities. The students
bring out well-acclaimed publications such as NLSI
Review, Socio-Legal Review, Indian Journal of Law
and Technology and Indian Journal of International
Economic Law. During 2007-08, NLSIU conducted the
first-ever national sports meet for law colleges. For the
past two years, NLSIU has been organizing
international theater festivals in which the teams from
the neighbouring countries have been participating.
COURSE STRUCTURE
NLSIU follows a trimester system where under an
academic year is divided into three parts and four
subjects are taught in each trimester. 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 helps 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 specialize 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 Community Law,
Telecommunication Law, Information Technology Law,
Accountancy and Financial Management, Affirmative
Action etc. To find out the courses taught at NLSIU and
their distribution over the years, please check NLSIU
website: www.nls.ac.in
Another significant method of involving scholars
from outside is by way of one credit courses. These
courses normally comprise of eighteen lecture hours
spread over a week. Experts, national and
international, are invited to offer seminar courses at
NLSIU for a week. Any interested student can sign up
for these courses provided he/she possesses the basic
understanding of the subject. Some of the one credit
courses, offered in recent years include Shipping Laws,
South African Constitutional Law, U.S. Patent Law etc.
Various donor have established fifteen Endowment
Chairs in NLSIU to promote the study of different
www.nls.ac.in 5
CLAT-2009
subjects. These subjects include Constitutional Law,
Refugee Law, Corporate Law, International Trade Law,
Consumer Law etc. In 2007, 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 two weeks
intensive course along with the attorneys of the firm in
NLSIU campus under the auspices of this Chair in
April, 2008.
The NLSIU has well-developed research centres
in Juvenile Justice, Intellectual Property Rights and

Dr. Ram Manohar Lohiya National Law University,

ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY
The year 1987 saw the beginning of the tectonic
shift in perception about law as a career from one of the
least attractive careers, to one of the most sought after,
with the establishment of the first National Law School
at Bangalore. It was a time of hope for the legal
fraternity. The concept of a national institution to act as
a pace-setter and a testing ground for bold
experiments in legal education came up before the Bar
Council of India in the context of the Council's statutory
responsibility for maintaining standards in professional
legal education (under the Advocates Act). Dr. Ram
Manohar Lohiya National Law University, was
established by an Act of the Legislature of Uttar
Pradesh in 2005 (U.P. Act No.28 of 2005) and it came
into being on 4th of January 2006.

CLAT-2009
National University of Advanced Legal Studies, Kochi
Five-Year Integrated BA., LL.B. (Hons.)
Degree Course
The National University of Advanced Legal Studies
(NUALS) had its origin in 2002 with the formation of the
National Institute for Advanced Legal Studies (NIALS)
sponsored by the Bar Council of Kerala. By the Act 27
of 2005, the Kerala State Legislature has transformed
the Institute into the present University. The Chief
Justice of India is the Visitor and the Chief Justice of
Kerala, the Chancellor of NUALS. In 2008, an
amendment streamlined the powers and functions of
the authorities of the University and ensured the active
involvement of the Government of Kerala.
Besides the subjects identified by the Bar Council
of India for the Five Year B.A., LL.B. (Hons.) degree,
NUALS envisages such courses on frontier areas of
law as mining, maritime transactions, psychology and
medicine, media and communications, forensic
science, history of statutory presumptions, descriptive
statistics and real estate.
These courses are meant to render to the students
an insight into the real working of current legal system
in all its aspects.
The NUALS teaching pedagogy is non-
conventional with a combination of various methods of
studying law with emphasis on student centred
education. There is continuous internal assessment on
student participation and performance. In order to
develop analytical skills and critical faculties and to
keep the students abreast with the changes in law and
social mores, seminars and debates on recent cases
and legal developments are held regularly.
The special lectures periodically delivered by
eminent judges, distinguished jurists and reputed
visiting fellows attract enlightened audience to the
NUALS campus providing opportunity for more
academic and intellectual discourses. Some of the
Judges of the High Court of Kerala offer periodic
lectures.
The Honourable Mr. Justice K.T. Sankaran of the
Kerala High Court dealt with Civil Procedure Code and
allied areas during the last Semester.
Students are assigned to write on a chosen topic in
every subject. The projects are assessed and given
academic credits. The NUALS Law Journal, managed
by the students, brings into focus of the legal world,
some of the excellent project findings. The NUALS
54 www.nuals.ac.in
Common Law Admission Test
Legal Aid Clinic organizes awareness and outreach
programmes and initiates the students to render legal
advice and counselling.
NUALS is located in the heart of the city at present
and will be shifted to the new campus in the suburb of
Kochi in due course with residential facilities for all
students. Till then, the NUALS accommodation wing
will help the students seeking admission to fix up
comfortable stay.
The present campus provides adequate academic
infrastructure-internet connectivity, on-line legal
resources, and a computer lab besides a good
collection of standard books and reports, both foreign
and Indian.
The NUALS campus recruitment committee
arranges placement for students graduating from
NUALS. Substantial number of them have already
benefitted by this programme in the past two years.
Fee waivers are available to outstanding students with
scarce means of financial backing. The selection is
made by an assessment committee on the basis of
merit and other objective criteria. Endowments have
been instituted for students who excel in the B.A. LL.B.
(Hons.) degree examination. C.K.Sivasankara
Panicker Memorial Endowment Gold Medal for the
best outgoing student with the highest academic
proficiency and V.R. Krishna Iyer National Foundation
for Law and Social Justice Endowment Gold Medal for
the student who is first in constitutional law, are
illustrations.
NUALS students have won laurels in moot court,
debate, writing and quiz at national and international
competitions. NUALS also facilitates such
programmes that provide a forum for interaction with
students from other law schools.
