The advent of globalisation and its
attendent issues has alerted the foundational backdrop of
the legal culture and the activities centered around law,
which demands serious attention of the policy makers and
intellectuals. Law is no longer confined to its
traditional paradigm of being identified as a mere
discourse which controls external human conducts and
ensures social justice. Law is slowly revealing itself as
an essential medium of change as it proved to be a
constructive and useful mechanism for implementation of
economic policy, thereby strenghthening the foundation of
economy.
The new notion of law and jurisprudence
demands a different attitude to legal studies and
research. Theoretical knowledge – one mere confined to
legal texts without interdisciplinary studies and
practical exposure is unwarranted in the present day
context, as one can not develop the skill of deciphering
the legal issues which have surfaced as a result of the
emergence of new economic understanding and technological
development of the present millennium. All these
necessitates Lawyers, Academics and Researchers with
exposure and skill to play a crucial role in chartering
the course of our nation with sensitivity, vision,
conviction and dedication. This requires institution of
high standards, which will stimulate intellectual inquiry
and excellence.
In view of this, NEF Law College will
not only imbibe the tradition of multidisciplinary
approach to the legal studies and research but also will
make a genuine endeavour to propagate such approach to
both the privileged and unprivileged learners and
researchers of law and jurisprudence and thus strive to
emancipate such interdisciplinary culture from the elitist
dogmatism and carry the same to the grassroots level of
the society. The Institution will earnestly aspire to
strengthen the foundation of democratic and social values
in our young generation and mould them into "social
engineers" who will work towards building a "new
India".
