Who we Are
BITS Law School offers legal knowledge, practical training, and holistic education to build leaders who will be passionate to create a more fair, just, and inclusive society. Towards this goal, we embrace all learners who bring the right ethos, a penchant for learning the law, and who share our belief in bending the arc of the moral universe towards justice. Our progressive, interdisciplinary, and technology-led approach will help students learn to know the law, learn to practice law, learn to live with law, and learn to empower through law.
BITS Law School is approved by the Bar Council of India (BCI).
Dean's Welcome Message
The nature of law is that it is constantly evolving, constantly guiding human behaviour, and constantly adapting to the needs of society. Yet, legal education in India ‒ to an end and the end in itself ‒ has not evolved much over the past few decades. It is time to make amends and BITS Law School is determined to lead the change. Our model of interdisciplinary legal education is based on the evolving role of technology in society, the plurality of thoughts, diversity of ideas, and internationalisation of knowledge. We stand on the shoulders of giants as we take the glorious legacy of BITS Pilani forward with its strong network of 1.8 lakh alumni. Now, after more than a century of lawyers crafting the freedom struggle and the story of India, it is time to build a new generation of lawyers who can dare to dream big and lead India into the future.
