From the Desk of the Director

Dear students,

It is with immense pleasure that I welcome you all to the Indian Law Institute (ILI).
Established in 1956, as an initiative to promote advanced learning of law and legal research,
the ILI has continued to work tirelessly towards the realisation of the vision with which it had
been set up. Since its inception almost seven decades ago, it has established itself not only as
a leader in legal education but as premier research institute, committed to the cause of legal
reform and social justice. Recognising the significant contribution of the Institute to the field
of legal education and research, the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC)
has given ILI an “A Grade” accreditation rating.

The primary goal of ILI has been to cultivate and promote the science of law. In this
pursuit, the ILI fraternity abides by the guiding principles of constitutional justice, accessibility,
and social justice, which form a sound underpinning for all its research endeavours. Aside
from research, ILI is dedicated to developing a critical legal pedagogy in order to contribute
to higher education in India and accomplish the goals of socially relevant legal education.
As Herbert Spencer once said, “The great aim of education is not knowledge, but action”. At
ILI, it is our endeavour that we impart learning that can be readily translated into effective
action and progressive outcomes, bridging the gaps in the justice delivery mechanism of the
country. ILI offers doctoral programmes and postgraduate courses as part of its commitment
to the advancement of advanced legal studies.

The Masters Course in Law, i.e., LL.M (one year) is formulated as per the guidelines
issued by the University Grants Commission. The one-year LL.M course has been re-structured
and thoroughly revised in order to offer a bigger basket of specialised courses to the students.
The students are also offered a range of elective courses within their field of specialization.
We try to ensure that the research expertise of the faculty is translated into the courses, and
concerted efforts are made to encourage inter-disciplinary orientation. We strongly believe
that legal education needs to re-invent itself continually to respond to contemporary social,
legal, and political issues. As a part of our strive for continuous improvement, the faculty at
ILI undertakes periodic revisions of the curriculum. Apart from the LL.M programme, ILI
also offers postgraduate diplomas in different areas of law.

 PR OSPEC T US 2023-2 4

In order to provide better and wider exposure to the students, we organize special
lectures by eminent scholars from India and abroad on a regular basis. Further, to foster the
spirit of critical analysis and engagement with socio-legal challenges and to hone the academic
acumen of students, the institute includes in its programme, student driven weekly seminars
under the supervision of faculty members. ILI also has a full-fledged video conferencing
facility to connect students and faculty with legal luminaries, scholars, and writers in different
parts of the world. ILI has also been instrumental in conducting various international
and national conferences on contemporary socio-economic-legal issues. We encourage
participative learning by organising national and international seminars and conferences on
a variety of legal issues having both practical and academic relevance. The academic and
research prowess of the Institute is widely known among national and international scholars,
providing the Institute with a vast network of community of researchers and academicians
of repute, to collaborate with. Students, faculty, and researchers from different parts of the
country and abroad are encouraged to visit the Institute for the purpose of doctoral and post-
doctoral research and to participate in various academic activities of the Institute.
ILI has one of the biggest law libraries in Asia with about 80,000 titles in law and allied
subjects. The library resources are regularly updated to ensure that our collection reflects the
latest research and writing in various fields allied to law. The library receives about 260 legal
periodicals, including serial publications. Its digital wing, i.e., Legal Information Resource
Centre (LIRC), has almost all prominent legal databases, including SCC Online, AIR Infotech,
Law Premium, West Law, Lexis – Nexis, Heinonline, JSTOR, etc. Due to its vast reservoir of
material for legal research, the ILI library is the preferred work station, not just for students
and legal researchers, but also for advocates and learned members of judiciary. ILI also
undertakes research projects from various Ministries and the Departments of the Government
and other agencies and instrumentalities of the State. To promote research initiatives and
to facilitate dissemination of quality legal research,ILI also undertakes the publication of
reputed academic journals, which are indexed in all well-known databases as well as the
UGC recognised CARE list of journals.
To meet our goal of achieving equity with excellence, ILI has put institutional measures
to ensure that financial constraints do not deter deserving students from pursuing higher
education in law. To this end, the Institute offers merit-cum-means scholarships to eligible
students. We can proudly state that ILI works hard, every day, to transform legal education
into justice education by providing a stimulating intellectual atmosphere for students,
researchers, and faculty.
We welcome you to join us in our academic pursuit of realising the promise of justice
education.

The Indian Law Institute

1. The Institute

The Indian Law Institute (ILI) was founded in 1956 primarily with the objective of promoting
and conducting legal research. It was established as a result of the efforts of the leading jurists
of India over a number of years. It is a truism that a sound legal order is the basis of a democratic
society, because law is one of the major instrumentalities by which a society can hope to
prosper and develop. There were many important reasons impelling the establishment of a
national legal research centre. First, there was a need for reinvigorating legal research as the
law, the legal research and the legal education had been neglected areas in India, both before
and after Independence. Second, there was a need for sustained institutionalized research
encompassing projects requiring field studies and group thinking. Third, it was necessary
to bring together different branches of the legal profession, namely, judges, lawyers and law
teachers with a view to develop an integrated approach to law in society.

The objectives of the Institute are to cultivate the science of law, to promote advanced studies
and research in law so as to meet the social, economic and other needs of the Indian people, to
promote systematization of law, to encourage and conduct investigations in legal and allied
fields, to improve legal education, to impart instructions in law, and to publish studies, books,
periodicals, etc.

The Institute is an autonomous body registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860.
The autonomous character of the Institute and its independence ensure the requisite academic
freedom to carry out its objectives and meaningful research. Its funds come mainly from the
Government of India, Ministry of Law & Justice and also from membership fees and sale
of its publications. The membership of the Institute is now nearly three thousand and three
hundred representing the persons interested in the study and advancement of law.

Hon’ble Chief Justice of India is the ex-officio President of the Institute. The Law Minister of
Government of India is its ex-officio Vice President. Judges of the Hon’ble Supreme Court
of India and High Courts, Lawyers, Government officials, Vice Chancellors, Deans and
Professors of Law are represented in the Governing Council of the Institute.

The Indian Law Institute was granted Deemed University status in 2004 vide Government
of India, Ministry of Human Resource Development Notification No.F.9- 9/2001-U.3
dated 29.10.2004. The Institute has been accredited with ‘A’ Grade (CGPA 3.35 out of 4.00)
by NAAC in March 2017. After the visit and review by the UGC Expert Committee, the UGC
approved the inclusion of Indian Law Institute u/s 12B of the UGC Act in June 2018. The
Indian Law Institute was granted Grade II Autonomy by University Grants Commission on
the basis of score accreditation.
