The National Law School & Judicial Academy, Assam (NLSJAA) promises
to be an
exciting new development in the field of legal education
in North Eastern India.
The institution is in the process of setting up its
premises at Amingaon near Guwahati - a city dating back to over a
thousand years, and
also boasting a rich legal heritage – not only is the
Gauhati High Court situated
here, but also some of the finest lawyers and judges of
the country trace their
roots back to this city. Nevertheless,
the functions of the institute have already started
from its temporary office at Ujan Bazar, Guwahati, and
all the necessary arrangements are being made for commencement
of its first academic session from August 2011.
The NLSJAA will promote and make available modern judicial
education and
research facilities to students and scholars from North East
India as well as other
states of the country, representing a diverse range of
socio-economic, ethnic, religious
and cultural backgrounds. It is expected that in the years to
come, students from
different states of the region with diverse backgrounds will
join NLSJAA, thereby
underscoring its truly national character.
Campus
The permanent campus is being constructed at Agiyathuri, on the
Northern bank of
the mighty Brahmaputra. It is located in close proximity to the L
G B International
Airport, the Gauhati University and the IIT, Guwahati. The
campus will be fully
equipped to create a vibrant learning environment. At present
the institution is
functioning from a temporary
office at Uzan Bazar, Guwahati with a handful of staff during
the initial phase
of establishment. Classes in graduation level are expected to
commence from August 2011. For this purpuse, a temporary campus is
being set up at NEJOTI (North
East Judicial Officers' Training Institute) campus in Ulubari
area of Guwahati which can easily accomodate 60 students in
class as well
as hostels. Necessary facilities like Library, Faculty Common
Room etc. are being set up in the same campus.
The institution is expected to move to its permanent location at
Amingaon (Agiathuri)
in about two years' time.
