Sharda University, Nurturing Legal Practice With Global Mindset

Legal careers assume greater importance today because of the following global developments:
Complex rules in the use of technology
Pace of globalization
International trade

Legal education must change in response to these developments. School of Law responds to these changes through its courses and teaching practices. It seeks to think creatively and strategically about its role in legal education and law reform in India.

An increasing number of law graduates prefer to practice outside the traditional professional roles of advocate and solicitor, preferring to move into a wide range of careers: business partnerships, management, politics, civil service, diplomacy, social works, philanthropy, consultancies, teaching and research ? all of them contributing to the well being of the community in many different ways.

The School aims to equip law students for these avenues by providing experience based legal education, that promotes intellectual breadth, analytical skills and an ethical sense of role and purpose of lawyers in society.
Faculty.

Our faculty is drawn from academia, the legal profession and the corporate world that have national and international qualifications. The faculty with its strong tradition of teaching and research in the common law represent principles that legal education seeks to bring to the legal profession.

Teaching and Learning

School of Law follows three important steps to achieve the right training for its law students:
It offers bridging law courses from first year so students have a chance to study law in the context of society, trade, industry and commerce right from the first year of the program.
The design and the contents of bridging courses in humanities, or commerce, or business management integrate these courses with law and legal practice.
The Legal Clinics program is offered right from the first year.

The faculty facilitates clinical and problem-based learning approaches, as well as skills development. This structure permits an opportunity for law students to participate, share ideas, experiment and innovate. Through its teaching methods, the faculty encourages students to become active participants in the learning process.

Our law students learn through:

Classroom discussions
Hands-on experience via externships and clinical programs
Participation in a range of student organizations and extramural activities

Student assessment emphasizes on individual autonomy, creativity, and academic freedom. Assessments include written assignments and class presentations.
Legal Thinking, Pedagogy and Teaching Methods

The School is dedicated to legal education and research in many ways. The School:
provides students with a strong foundation in the rule of law in the common language of lawyers
builds upon the diversity and depth of the law curriculum by adding courses in emerging fields of specialization
provides practical skills training in advocacy, alternative dispute resolution, legal research and writing, problem solving and ethics ensures that students are exposed to theoretical and critical perspectives on the law attracts the best teaching and research faculty and promote student involvement in national and global research initiatives
works to gather the resources necessary to support these initiatives.

Professional Legal Training

School of Law offers Legal Clinics and Legal Aid programs. The plan behind the Legal Clinics and Legal Aid programs is two-fold:
Hands-on experience will familiarize students with court procedures so they understand classroom theory much better Court experience will train students to be job-ready to work with law firms or as in-house counsels with corporations or as advisors to the government.

As with all professional programs, zeroing in on the practical application of the course is important. For law students this requires knowledge of court procedures, court documentation, and the role of lawyers in delivering justice to clients.

The Legal Clinics and Legal Aid programs train students in both the theory and practice of laws such as Trademarks, Patents and Copyright Law, Motor Vehicle Accidents and Personal Injury Claims, plus Civil Procedure (under the Code of Civil Procedure 1908) and Criminal Procedure (under the Code of Criminal Procedure 1973).

Legal Clinics program allows students to train with practicing lawyers in the court. Legal Aid program trains third year students to give advice to clients who cannot afford to see a lawyer for a number of reasons such as high lawyer's fees, lack of knowledge about their claims, situated at long distance from the courts.

Climate Change Impact: Workshop Held At Sharda University

A Workshop on ‘Positive Degree Day Modelling of Glaciers’ was held during 28th–29th September, 2012 in School of Engineering & Technology, Sharda University. The programme was held as a part of a project ‘Impacts of Climate Change on Hydrological Regime of Nepal, India and Afghanistan’ funded under ADD-SG programme of International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD).

The programme is being led by Dr. Rajesh Kumar, Associate Professor, Dept. of Applied Sciences, Sharda University as the Principle Investigator. The project has three partner institutions working in collaboration viz. Kathmandu University, Nepal; Sharda University, India and Kabul University, Afghanistan.

The main objective of the workshop was to train the participants on Positive Degree Day Modelling, discussion on progress of the project and also to discuss about future collaborative research plans. There were twenty-three participants in the programme including two participants each from Kathmandu University, Nepal and Kabul University, Afghanistan. A guest talk was delivered by Ms. Nisha Mediratta, Scientist F/Director, Climate Change Programme, Department of Science & Technology, Govt. of India on ‘Climate Change & its impacts: India’s Strategies’.

The inaugural session of the programme was facilitated by Prof. Bharat B. Gupta, Officiating Dean, SET, Sharda University. He warmly welcomed the participants with focus on the need of study of Himalayan Glaciers in present scenario due to the major fresh water reserve outside the polar region. Dr. Munendra Singh, HOD, Dept. of Applied Sciences made everyone aware about the research work and different programs running in SET as well as Sharda University. Dr. Kumar, Associate Professor and Principle Investigator of the project from Sharda University delivered vote of thanks.


After the inaugural session, the programme discussed in two days (28th – 29th September) about the progress of the project in the three countries followed by the training on the Positive Degree Day (PDD) modeling. Dr. Rijan B. Kayastha presented the project progress in Nepal followed by Ms. Roya Quraishi in Afghanistan and Dr. Rajesh Kumar in India in the first half of the second day. After lunch the M. Tech. and Ph.D. students of Energy and Environment were trained on Positive Degree Day Modelling. The model is very helpful in predicting the water availability in Himalayan Glaciers fed rivers in next two-three decades.
