Institute of Law, Nirma University has adopted the Outcome Based Education Model for the holistic development of its students. The teaching-learning process has been designed to ensure that students learn by producing knowledge rather than by receiving knowledge from others.
Institute of Law relies on a combination of pedagogical tools to provide the students with an efficient and scientific learning environment. The teaching/learning strategy targets expansion of knowledge, skills and aptitudes in a manner that leads to tangible outcomes. The Courses offered aim at the development of cognitive, critical, creative and practical abilities of the students. Evaluation methods are designed with a view of perceptively assessing the learning outcomes and skills acquired. Even at the undergraduate level, the students get ample prospects for exploring writing, research and publication in their areas of interest and expertise, under the guidance of competent faculty.
The Academic Research Centres under the supervision of faculty members with proven erudition and proficiency in each of these domains of knowledge facilitate rigorous learning and research. Further, there is an emphasis on the practical aspects of theory wherein students apply their conceptual knowledge to legal issues and problems. To enable the students to gain a better insight into the working of the legal profession, a practical work component has been added to all the courses.
Thus Institute of Law strives to inculcate in every student a sense of responsibility towards society and respect for human life, besides developing in them the highest standards of professional behavior and personal integrity.
