Dakshina Kannada to get one more law school
Mangaluru: Dakshina Kannada district will have another law college, which will start functioning from the next academic year. The 145-year-old St Aloysius (Deemed to be University) announced on Thursday the formal approval and launch of its School of Law. Fr Praveen Martis, vice-chancellor of the institution, said that starting from the academic year 2025–26, the School of Law will offer two programmes—a three-year LLB (honours) and a five-year integrated BBA LLB (honours). Both courses will have an intake of 60 students. With recent recognition granted under Section 7(1)(i) of the Advocates Act, 1961, by the Bar Council of India, the university was officially authorised to confer degrees in law. The law library, housing over Rs 33 lakh worth of resources, is fully integrated with SCC Online, Manupatra, and Knimbus eLibrary, providing 24/7 remote access to leading legal databases and journals, managed through the Koha Library Management System. The School of Law will stress experiential learning. From clinical legal education and legal aid clinics to internships with courts, law firms, NGOs, and policy think tanks, students are exposed to the real world of law early in their academic journey. Regular debates, moot competitions, group discussions, and case study sessions empower students with critical thinking, legal reasoning, and communication skills vital to their future careers. Apart from this, there will be mentorship programmes connecting students with practising advocates and academic leaders.
