Who are the Top 10 law professors in India today?
1. Sudhir @ NLSIU
2. Mrinal @ NLSIU
3. Liang @AUD
4.Nigam @ Munjal
5. Anup @ NLUD
6.Aparna @NLSIU
7. Chauhan @ NALSAR
8.Rahul @NLSIU
9. Prabhash @ SAU
10. Bhuwania @JGLS
However, please do share links or details of research or personal anecdotes and other relevant information about professors - including perhaps some less well-known ones - who you might deserve to be on such a list. I.e., if in doubt, please aim to keep the tenor of posts positive and constructive rather than negative. 🤗
Additionally, I really think this list should contain yp and arul from NLUD. Fantastic people, smart, accomplished a lot both teaching and research wise.
Colored by my bias, but cool how some batches of nlud have had the privilege to be taught by or work with like 5 of the top 15 faculty.
Interestingly, almost everyone mentioned in the list barring Rahul and to a certain extent Prabhash, is associated with public law. Possible bias in terms of compilation or popular coverage?
He’s still early career , he has time to write.
And some of them ( what is FM doing on your list?) actually don’t hold a candle to these younger folks. People just don’t like saying it because they want idols to worship. I’d rather be in mrinal/ aparnas/ anups class than Ved Kumari, baxi, faizan or dhanda.
But on the whole, I hope this turns into a nice forum for us to discuss and celebrate our best teachers and not throw mud on other institutions/turn this into an unnecessaryfight.
Someone should teach you to be more careful with words.
If he isn't teaching anymore then they have grudes with Raj the admin and not Raj the Prof. The two are very different creature and you should not judge one on basis of the other.
But
NLS has the professors whom i would rate 10/10 but they are fewer in number.
CLC has a bunch of less-renowned but very experienced professors. Very underrated.
My ratings (not based on professors but university) would be:-
JGLS>NLS>CLC>GLC>NUJS>NALSAR>NLUJ>Symbi pune> GNLU
If you wish to disagree, please be respectful. These are my personal opinions based on my personal experience and the reality might be entirely different

Since we got the IoE tag, we have 24 year old kids who have done their LLM from random degrees come and teach. They're taking full courses and can't teach at all. Heck, my ADR prof kept confusing seat v. venue v. place.
For 10 sections in a batch, each section will get 1 good prof for every 5 courses. Do the math and you'll know what a shithole it is.
P.S. Kian might not publish this because his cash flow depends on Raj. He hasn't covered a single issue reported to him :)

As lawyers and law students, you all know that a man is innocent until proven guilty by a court of law. So please respect this principle. You are also getting one side of the story. Thousands of lawyers and human rights activists can vouch for Lawrence's character. Even the legendary feminist activist Prof Nivedita Menon has expressed concern over the lack of due process followed in Lawrence's case and the so-called LOSHA list by Raya Sarkar, which started this witchunt. No one even heard of Raya Sarkar prior to the list and she has no track record of human rights activism. She was just a fresh graduate from Jindal Law School (a law school only for the rich and privileged). On the other hand, Prof Menon is a living legend and the godmother of feminist scholarship in India.

Under the Modi government, human rights activists have been persecuted non stop and false cases have been filed. We are seeing what is happening with Disha Ravi. I am not saying that Lawrence is being hounded by the Modi government, but he is one of the topmost human rights activists in India and it would be very convenient for the government to get him out of the way. You should also know that the controversy involving him happened soon after he spoke at the JNU protests with Kanhaiya Kumar.
I have presented another side of the story. I don't know if LI will publish the comment or not. I just hope we will all learn to be kind and do better by giving everyone a fair hearing and respecting the rule of law.
Lawrence is a good man who has spent his whole life serving the cause of the poor, instead of joining a law firm and selfishly minting money. All he needs is a fair hearing before being stoned by a mob, that's all.
As far as NLU alumni going to NLS is concerned, it’s only Aparna and Mrinal who’ve left NLUD for NLS and they come as a package deal anyway.
I don’t see anyone claiming anymore that NLUD has the most NLU alumni teaching so you’re unnecessarily bringing it up again. Even then, the teachers who are still around are still pretty decent (even some of the non-NLU graduates). Maybe you should put your caustic feelings towards NLUD from the past aside and move ahead to more important issues.
My point was just to emphasise that there aren’t really any comments I’ve seen on this thread about NLUD having the most number of NLU alumni teaching. So you bringing it up was unnecessary and irrelevant.
