DES Law College - DES Shri Navalmal Firodia Law College

DES’s Shri Navalmal Firodia Law College has entered in its 18th year, keeping pace with the social change and answering responsibly, all the demands of any complex and intricate global legal set up. We have brought about tremendous metamorphosis in terms of inculcating legal education through innovative pedagogy.

Under the banner of DES CLE, our college is successfully running certificate courses in Soft Skills Development, Law & Psychology, and Law & Logic. We must move beyond the ideal of a comfortable, self - focused life & answer the call to be an advocate for those who don’t have one. This ideology is an extension of visionary forefathers, and with this note, DES CLE also inaugurated first edition of certificate courses in Advocacy Skills, Medico-Legal Approaches, Financial Markets (basic) & interdisciplinary course in Law & Economics to cater to the professional requirements. DES CLE thus, provides a focal point of multidisciplinary avenues in various perspectives of socio - economic, political & legal arenas.

Moot Court activity is an inherent feature of every premier law school to create eloquent advocates. This activity is greatly promoted by the college. The students have brought several laurels to the college by winning prizes in International, National and State Level Prestigious Moot Court Competitions, Client Counseling and Mock Trials. We host one of its own kinds – Lokmanya Tilak Memorials National Appellate Moot Court Competition each year, a unique style of mooting format at Appellate Level in both Civil and Criminal domains. Last year college organised the first edition of Intra – College Novice Moot Court Competition for 2nd B.A.LL.B & 2nd B.B.A.LL.B students to develop the legal acumen and research skills of the students and provide a platform to explore emerging issues of law.

Developing spirit for legal research, Legal Research Cell is one of the most important facets of a law student’s growth. The college has duly constituted Legal Research Cell, which conducts workshops on research methodology. Members also participate in research oriented competitions like Legislative Analysis, Research Papers, Judgment Analysis, etc. We are the first college to host a National Judgment Analysis Competition and Bill Analysis Competition, which helps in building analytical aptitude among law students. The Cell also publishes a law journal – “Fiat Justicia” every year to develop research culture and inculcate research spirit in legal arena.

National Service Scheme (NSS) is one of the vital extra academic activities of our college and hence, an integral part of our law course curriculum. The motto or watchword of the NSS is ‘NOT ME, BUT YOU’. It underlines that the welfare of the individual is ultimately dependent on the welfare of the society as a whole. The students have brought several laurels to the college by winning prizes at various Street Play Competitions organized by different law colleges. It is heartening that every year NSS activities have been going up in full swing with more active participation of our students in different aspects of community services to the rural neighborhood.
