ABOUT 

CMR SCHOOL OF LEGAL STUDIES 

CMR University School of Legal Studies aspires to be recognised as a principal centre of excellence in law. Striving to attract and facilitate the foray of enterprising, smart, and intelligent young individuals into the legal profession, is a conscious effort and a focal point in CMRU. The School of Legal Studies seeks to emphasise on the integration of enterprising initiatives and creative programmes in the curricular activity, transcending conventional academic orientation so as to inculcate within each of its student, a vibrant and more real outlook towards their life and career. Each student in the School of Legal Studies is trained to become a complete professional and a highly-accomplished citizen.


Established in 2003, under the name and style of CMR University School of Legal Studies, the institution has been actively engaged in shaping young legal professionals since 14 years. For the past six consecutive years, CMR School of Legal Studies has been ranked amongst the top law colleges in India by leading national magazines. Our students have been highly successful in winning several national level moot court competitions, debate competitions and model parliament competitions, besides securing the top ranks in the Karnataka State Law University examinations.


Having made the transition from being affiliated to Karnataka State Law University to being a constituent department under CMR University, we hope not only to emulate our past deeds, but to progress further and reach greater heights in our eternal quest for perfection.
