ABOUT UILS
University Institute of Legal Studies (UILS) was established in 2004-05 with the aim of providing quality education and training in the legal profession. During a short span of time, UILS has become one of the premier institutions in the country for providing legal education. The stimulating and interactive academic environment of the Institute helps to hone the Drafting, Research, Advocacy, Interviewing and Negotiating skills of the students. While the faculty sets a standard that well serves the expectations of the students, the students are trained in essence of the substantive laws, techniques of procedural laws, methods of client counseling and skills in legal and social sciences research etc. The Institute also exposes its students to the ‘law in action’ through compulsory internships with Hon’ble Judges of Supreme Court, Punjab and Haryana High Court, eminent lawyers, legal firms, various commissions and NGOs etc. The Institute’s own Legal Aid Clinic provides free legal services to the economically weaker sections of the society as a part of community outreach programme of the Institute. The Institute provides state-of-the-art infrastructure to facilitate a sound learning experience for its students.
ABOUT MISSISSIPI COLLEGE SCHOOL OF LAW
Mississippi College School of Law is located in downtown Jackson, Mississippi — the capital city and heart of the state’s legal community. The State Capitol, Mississippi Supreme Court, federal courts, and many of Mississippi’s most respected law firms are within walking distance of the MC Law campus. Unlike more isolated law schools, MC’s location puts one in the middle of the legal action. Many of the judges, attorneys, and other legal experts visit campus as speakers or teach courses as adjunct professors. One of the nation’s leading providers of education services has included the Mississippi College School of Law on its 2022 Best Law Schools list. The Princeton Review, one of the most trusted tutoring, test preparation, and admission organizations, named MC Law to its roll call of prestigious legal education institutions after a rigorous review of the school’s institutional and student survey data, with factors including career outcomes, admission selectivity, and academic rigor.
