Why
MATS LAW SCHOOL
1. MATS
University is a University recognized under Section 2(f) of
the UGC Act, 1956 and was established under the Chhattisgarh
Act No.29 of 2006 enacted by the Legislative Assembly of
Chhattisgarh and notified in the Chhattisgarh Gazette
(Extraordinary) dated 3rd November 2006. 1. At MATS LAW
SCHOOL, Law teaching is interwoven with related contemporary
issues, including international and comparative law
perspectives. The curricula and syllabi are based in a
multidisciplinary body of social science and scientific
knowledge. Curriculum development includes:
-
a. expanding the
domain of optional courses;
b. provides deeper understanding of professional ethics;
c. modernizing clinical courses;
d. mainstreaming legal aid programs; and
e. developing innovative pedagogic methods.
All the above are coupled with competent, dedicated and
devoted faculty members having sufficient teaching experience
in various National Law Schools/Universities of the Country.
2. At
MATS LAW SCHOOL, evaluation methods test critical reasoning by
encouraging essential analytical, writing and communication
skills. The end-semester examination will be problem-oriented,
combining theoretical and problem oriented approaches rather
than merely testing the memory. Moot Court Exercises, Project
Papers, Snap Tests, Mid Term Examinations, Project and Subject
viva, along with an end-semester examination will be the
pedagogic methods followed for improving quality.
3. At MATS LAW SCHOOL, steps are taken to develop a
serious culture of research like:
-
a. Emphasizing
analytical writing skills and research methodology as integral
aspects of the LL.B program;
b. Creating excellent infrastructure (including research
friendly library facilities, availability of computers and
internet; digitization of case law);
c. Providing access to latest journals and legal databases
available worldwide;
d. Rationalizing the teaching load to leave faculty members
sufficient time for research;
e. Institutionalizing periodic faculty seminars; and
f. Publishing quality peer-reviewed journals;
4. At
MATS LAW SCHOOL, we have realized that building world class
law schools today will require positive response to the
growing international dimensions of legal education and of the
legal profession, where it is becoming increasingly necessary
to incorporate international and comparative perspectives,
along with necessary understanding of domestic law. Hence the
initiatives taken to promote such international perspectives
include:
-
a. Building
collaborations and partnerships with noted foreign
universities;
b. Finding ways of evolving transnational curricula to be
taught jointly by a global faculty through video conferencing
and internet modes;
c. Creating international faculty, international courses and
international exchange opportunities among students.
5. At
MATS LAW SCHOOL, the aim of our 5 year BBA.LL.B. (Honours)
Degree Program is to create lawyers who are comfortable and
skilled in ‘dealing’ with the differing legal systems and
cultures that make up our global community while remaining
strong in one’s own national legal system. The MATS LAW SCHOOL
students will be trained to specialize in international trade
practices, comparative law, conflict of laws, international
human rights law, environmental law, gender justice, space
law, biomedical law, bio-ethics, international advocacy etc.
They will also acquire a general knowledge of American,
English, and European Union legal system apart from a working
knowledge of official languages of the United Nations like
Arabic, French, Russian and Chinese.
