“There Shall Justice Prevail”
The logo of Na�onal Law University Delhi is composed of 3 elements: n (N), L
(L) and U (U) which are interlinked by the second element of L. In its totality,
it represents the harmonious confluence of different elements of disciplines
and level—a rule that Law and its execu�ve, the judicial system also
performs. Individually, the ‘N’ and ‘U’ are downward and upward facing,
symbolising polar and complementary outlooks, through which Law threads
its way. The extension of ‘L’ or Law to beneath the layer, a�empts to
encapsulate the concerns of equality and social jus�ce. The emphasis is on
the ‘Rule of Law’ (represented by the second ‘L’) in promo�ng social jus�ce,
par�cularly targe�ng the vulnerable popula�on, which is lowest on the social
ladder. Its columnar arrangement suggests an upholding of jus�ce, equality,
fraternity, and human rights in all their facets to reach at a secular
democracy.

FACULTY SPEAKS

           Prof. (Dr.) Harpreet Kaur
           Professor (Law)
           Taught Corporate Law
           It's a pleasure to introduce the Batch of 2021 to prospec�ve employers. Having
           interacted with them for a period of two semesters, I am impressed with their
           intellectual capabili�es and communica�on skills. Their research quali�es
           highlight their clear understanding of concepts and the eagerness to learn. I wish
           them all the best for their future and I am sure they will do jus�ce to any work
           which is assigned to them.

           Prof. (Dr.) Ruhi Paul
           Professor (Law)
           Taught Civil Procedure Code & Alterna�ve
           Dispute Resolu�on
           I had a very enriching experience while teaching the Batch of 2021. I have
           witnessed the overall performance of the batch ge�ng be�er with each passing
           year of their stay at the Na�onal Law University Delhi. This is a very focused batch
           of students not only in academic and research ac�vi�es but also other extra and
           co-curricular ac�vi�es. Students of this batch are very well - mannered,
           hardworking, dedicated, professional and disciplined. I am sure, with all these
           quali�es, each and every student of Batch of 2021 will be a valuable asset to any
           ins�tu�onal they will join.

           Dr. Risham Garg
           Associate Professor (Law)
           Taught Law of Contracts
           It is my privilege as a teacher to write a note of recommenda�on for the class of
           2021. I have taught them a faw courses and also had the occasion to interact
           closely with them in a few conferences. Teaching them each course has been a
           pleasure as they have been keen students in class, par�cipa�ng in class discussion
           and never falling to ini�ate interac�on. I have always been impressed with their
           inquisi�veness and quest for knowledge through a�endance at symposiums,
           seminar and personal communica�on with other experienced professionals in
           the field. I am confident that they will con�nue to display the same level of
           commitment and enthusiasm as they did at Na�onal Law University Delhi.

           Dr. Aparna Chandra
           Assistant Professor (law)
           Taught Cons�tu�onal Law
           I’ve had the privilege of extensively interac�ng with the students from the batch
           of 2021. I taught the class Cons�tu�onal Law in their third year and found the
           class consistently well prepared, engaged, enthusias�c, and commi�ed to
           learning. Students from this class have also made a significant mark on the
           community life of the University. They par�cipate vigorously in co-curricular
           ac�vi�es and take the lead in organising campus events. This ability to take
           ownership of the ins�tu�on and work towards its be�erment makes me
           confident that students from this batch will be a great asset to any organisa�on
           they join.
