established at the JGU in 2011 in collaboration with National Tsing Hua University (NTHU) and with the support of the Ministry of Education, Government of Taiwan. It is a joint programme undertaken by Taiwan and India to promote learning of Mandarin Chinese language and culture among Indian students of higher education and to facilitate greater understanding and cooperation. The English Language Centre (ELC) is an integral part of campus life at JGU. The student of JGLS can avail the services of the ELC to improve their skills related to English language. ELC plays the role of an active partner in fulfilling the aspirations of students to become global citizens through the effective use of English language.

Global Library and Legal Resource Centre JGLS has one of the best libraries in Asia. The Global Library and the Legal Resource Centre at JGLS is an inspiring institutional imagination that combines divergent intellectual spaces within the library setting for reading, reflection and research. JGU’s Global Library functions as a hub for supporting academic scholarship and the research needs of our community. Situated in an area of over 2,500 square meters, the library houses a large number of print and non-print resources. The print section houses around 50,000 titles including reference books; the non-print section comprises over 700 CDs/DVDs. The library also provides access to a large number of e-resources including databases, 12,031 e-journals, other online material and subscription based access rights to 1,65,000 e-books.

Conferences, Seminars and Public Lectures JGLS is active in hosting conferences, seminars and public lectures on some of the most important issues related to law, society and business. These conferences are led by faculty initiatives under the aegis of the various research centres. Knowledge creation through dialogue and discourse has been the most fundamental source of academic inspiration throughout history. Joint conferences, symposia and workshops enable researchers, faculty and even students of JGLS to come together and discuss wide-ranging topics on a decided theme. This not only helps to build a strong multijurisdictional or inter-institutional dialogue, but also enables critical perspectives to develop from the ‘meeting of minds.’ JGLS has been mindful of the benefits that such exercises in knowledge creation bring, and has therefore partnered with several law schools around the world to produce an intellectually stimulating environment for research. JGLS is also conscious that the conferences should not merely act as a discursive event, but should translate into some form of publication or research project, so as to disseminate the research that the conference explores.

International Student Exchange Programmes JGLS has established international collaborations with law schools around the world, including Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Michigan, Cornell, UC Berkeley. Each year, eligible students to spend a semester at Universities across the globe including UC Davis, Indiana, Oxford, Cambridge, King’s College, Queen Mary, Brooklyn Law School, Mississippi College School of Law, FGV Direito Rio, FGV Direito SP Science Po, Singapore Management University, University of Southampton, University of New England, Leeds University, Tilburg University, Melbourne Law School, Tsinghua University, Bond University, East China University of Political Science and Law, University of Comillas, KOC University, School of Law City University Hong Kong, Temple University, Osgoode Hall Law School, University of Baltimore School of Law, EBS University, The Buchmann Faculty of Law Tel Aviv University, National Taiwan University College of Law, IE Law School, Queen’s University, Bucerius Law School, Esade Law School, University of Illinois. These law schools from around the globe also send their students to study at JGLS for a semester as part of these student exchange arrangements. Study periods spent abroad not only enrich students’ lives in the academic and professional fields, but can also improve language learning, intercultural skills, self-reliance and self-awareness. This experience gives students a better sense of what it means to be a global citizen. In addition, many employers value such exposure, which increases the students’ employability and job prospects. In some cases, credits earned during the exchange semester may count towards an LL.M. degree pursued after graduation at the same institution. The programme is highly subsidized from the perspective of an Indian student since students continue to pay for their tuition at home law school, and only bear costs of travel and living expenses abroad.

International Summer Schools at the World’s Leading Universities JGLS offers Jindal-Oxford Summer School in International Law and Global Governance (JOSS) as a three-week intensive residential program every year. The Summer School provides students with the opportunity to be taught by some of the world’s leading experts in International Law and Global Governance and experience the unique Oxford tutorial system of learning. Students reside and study at the beautiful Somerville College, University of Oxford. JGLS also offers the Harvard Summer School on Human Rights and Development for its students who get an opportunity to study for three weeks at Harvard University. EBS Law Summer is another important initiative for JGLS students suited to all levels of expertise in EU Law. Students may choose from 6 different electives, each dealing with detailed questions of European Business and Commercial Law. JGLS students are also eligible to participate in the Law Schools Global League summer school, hosted in a different country and on a different theme each year. Over the past few years this programme has been hosted by law schools in destinations as diverse as Lisbon, Istanbul, Cape Town and Chicago. In addition, during the winter break, JGLS student can travel to Australia to participate in short-term programmes organized by the law schools of the University of Melbourne and Murdoch University.

International Higher Education Opportunities JGLS has inked historic Memoranda of Understandings (MoUs) with prominent American universities to establish double-degree programmes. Through these programmes, students will be able to earn an LL.B. (or a B.A./B.B.A.LL.B.) from JGLS and a J.D. from the partner American University, in as much as two years less time than it would otherwise take, if they were to pursue these degrees sequentially. This reduction of two years does not in any way affect the rigorousness of the course, and students get two separate degrees of LL.B. and J.D. in four years (and B.A./B.B.A.LL.B. and J.D. in six years). This is done through extended exchange frameworks and credit transfers. The two universities with which we currently have this arrangement are: Indiana University Bloomington, Maurer School of Law and University of Arizona, James E. Rogers College of Law. Both these institutions offer generous scholarships to JGLS students in the past. Also, JGLS students can pursue Professional LL.M. from University of California, Berkeley, by attending the classes organized in summer. This will enable an LL.B. student (or a B.A./B.B.A.LL.B. student) to attend the classes in summer months for three consecutive years, and earn a Berkeley LL.M. at the end of their LL.B. (or B.A./B.B.A. LL.B.), thereby earning basic and post graduate law degree, from India and USA.

National and International Internships The Career Development & Placement Division (CDPD) at JGLS requires and assists students in pursuing at least one 4-week internship during each of their term-break during summer and winter. Such internships are pursued by our students in a variety of organizations and institutions both within and outside the justice administration system. The internship program at JGLS is designed and administered with a vision of broadening the horizon of career opportunities that students are able to seek post completion their of legal education, ensuring that all the students can leverage on the internship program towards fulfilling their diverse career aspirations. Students are guided from their first day at the law school to understand the kind of internships they should be working towards and hand-holding is provided in understanding nuts and bolts of securing and succeeding in such internships. The CDPD also supports JGLS students in securing internships in their home towns and various cities around India through large database of recruiter contacts regularly maintained to ensure availability of diverse internships to cater to each students’ specific needs and requirements. JGLS students also receive mentorship in building their recruiter contacts and developing necessary soft and hard skills by becoming student representatives at CDPD, thereby gaining an edge in furthering their career objectives.
