Established in the year 2018, SVKM’s NMIMS, School of Law, Navi

Mumbai offers two courses, BA-LL.B (Hons.) and BBA-LL.B (Hons.),
catering to the growing needs of the legal field. In providing such choice,
it aims to create diversity in learning. The courses are designed in a
manner that in addition to imbibing theoretical knowledge of law, the
students are exposed to the practical facets of the law. It prepares the
students for the real world by honing one’s soft skills such as framing and
drafting of arguments, interpretation of statutes; whilst keeping in touch
with our political and historical heritage, and flexibility with work
environments. The school also enables students to explore opportunities
for international exposure and global experience, which is imperative in a
globalised world. Alongside the same, the school prioritises co-curricular
and extra-curricular activities such as Moot Court Competitions, ADR
Competitions and Seminars. In pursuit of the same, SOL works in
committees, each specialised in a certain function and co-curricular
activity.
About the Conference
Law as a subject demands constant upgradation and revaluation to adapt

to the needs of the society today and not be forced to mould the society to
what the law was when it was made. Despite there being Constitutional
mechanisms to cater to this need, the true spirit of this revaluation lies in
the analysis and in depth understanding by the legal fraternity. After the
success of the National Conference: Athena on 16TH April 2023, the
Publication and Seminar Committee of School of Law, NMIMS, Navi
Mumbai wishes to hold a Seminar on niche, rather unexplored topics of
law with the same spirit.
It is required that all entries be submitted through the Microsoft Form
