Honours received in the name of Institutional Excellence Award from Society of Indian Law Firms, Community Engagement Awards from Herbert Smith Freehills and the Knowledge Steez Legal Aid Award from Knowledge Steez, Delhi,all stand testimony to the same.
Legal Aid is a unique activity, which is in consonance with the college motto of excellence in legal education in pursuit of justice and service to humanity. The ADR board which is inculcating among our students, the amicable settlement approach rather than adversarial approach towards client’s issues is another important aspect of our efforts in clinical legal education. Our Child Rights Clinic is the first clinic of its kind in the State of Goa which is an on campus clinic where the students under guidance of their faculty, offer legal assistance, advice and facilitate access to justice for children whose rights have been violated. Our Consumer Clinic provides an opportunity to our students to actively participate and represent the clients before the Consumer forums.
Moot Court is the oldest and longest activity of the college. Number of students aspiring to be mooters participate on selection, in national moot court competitions and bring laurels to the Instituion. Lex Infinitum-the International Dispute Resolution Competition held each year, provides law students with an opportunity to showcase their ADR skills and techniques.
Besides a vast library and completely digitized class rooms , Memorandums of Understanding with foreign universities, the Salgaocar Law Review, the Contemporary Legal Development Forum, Trial Advocacy, the various Law Clubs as well as the Economic and Innovative forum, and Communication Club, are activities conducted to enrich the learning experience of the students.
This success has been possible by the dedicated efforts of the qualified and experienced teaching staff, visiting faculty and the ever -valuable assistance of the administrative staff.
I wish all the students success in their career and prosperity in their future.
