FOR THE KIND ATTENTION OF ALUMNI STUDENTS

Introduction

The Law School's alumni have, in the space of only a few years, made glorious strides in severel diverse fields. From courtrooms to commercial law firms, from universities to NGOs and from international organisations to the civil services, our 1000-strong alumni community is making waves – not only in India but also on foreign shores. The NLS alumni believes firmly in giving back to the institution and to the Law School community generously – not only in terms of financial assistance and assistance in organising and judging moot courts, client counselling competitions and debates, but also by way of academic input to present students. These not only take the form of guest lectures and one-credit courses, but also career guidance talks and internship programmes. Several NLS alumni have even chosen to come back to campus to engage full-time courses over lucrative job opportunities.

The Alumni Association was formally registered as a society in 1997, and it elects its office-bearers every year at its Annual General Meeting. The Association comprises largely of Bangalore-based ex-Law Schoolites, who actively assist the SBA and the University in their many endeavours. For instance, several alumni take time off from their busy work schedules to take specialised seminars and practice-oriented clinical courses. The Alumni Association has, since 2005, hosted a dinner for the outgoing students a day before their convocation.

Since the alumni community is spread the world over, the best way to stay in touch, naturally, is through e-groups. Some of the prominent e-groups and mailing lists are listed below:
