I would like to nominate Shri Sachiv Pathania, currently teaching at Lal Bahadur Shashtri National Academy of Administration.

Weird that you missed out on Raj Kumar from JGLS and included Bhuwania from JGLS. Kumar is a scholar of his own standing. Just because he is involved in the administration of JGLS cannot be a reason to preclude his research and publication and he still offers courses at JGLS every once in a while.

The "famous" profs are mostly public law profs and leftists. Left ecosystem bias.

Then NLSIU faculty right now is a galaxy of stars, thanks to Sudhir. The moment SidChau leaves NALSAR for NLSIU, only NLSIU and JGLS will have top tier alumni faculty, barring 1 or 2 cases in other NLUs.

A better question to ask is which are the law schools with best faculty. NLSIU and JGLS are undoubtedly gold standard. Some of the rest are bronze, most are iron, lead and tin. Not saying which law school goes where since Kian asked us not to be negative. But you can look at bios and see for yourself. That's all.

I bow down my head in reverence to all teachers who have taught me. It is indeed a matter of great thankfulness that I got a chance to be educated. Have been lucky to be taught by Prof Kamla Sankaran- what a wonderful teacher she is. Taught us Constitutional Law at CLC, DU. Teachers are priceless and we owe our all to them.

Vaibha Asthana makes a good point about respecting teachers. Jindal has some very good professors, but do they get respect from students, in the same way that Baxi and Sankaran get from DU students, Chimni from JNU students, Dhanda from NALSAR students, MP Singh from NUJS students etc? [...]

NLSIU faculty is the best. That' it. That's the tweet.

I believe JGLS has best 9/10 professors and it has a lot of them.

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

Very strange that no one is talking about Lawrence Liang. In terms of intellect, research, publications and impact on society, Lawrence is the #1 legal academic in India today under 60 years of age. He is the only person other than Shamnad Basheer to win the Infosys Prize and the only law professor in India to be invited by Kaushik Basu to deliver the KC Basu lecture at NUJS (succeeding Nobel laureates like Amartya Sen and Joseph Stiglitz). Proof given below. Lawrence's impact is far more than Sudhir, Mrinal etc.

Dr. Kaumudhi Challa (Administrative Laws) HNLU

It's apparent that this is a very exclusionary list prepared inside the NLU echo chamber. That is the only explanation I can think of to exclude authorities in academia like Prof. Ved Kumari, Prof. Kamala Sankaran, Prof. L. Pushpa Lakshamanan (last two being Fullbright scholars) who are currently teaching in the Faculty of Law, University of Delhi.

Bar & Bench once did a faculty ranking of 21 NLUs, but it can only be accessed by subscribers. Can anyone share the rankings?

Why no commercial law subject professors being named?

Very unfortunate that JGLS professors ae not being named. NLU mafia at work.

LI readers are being cruel and unfair to Lawrence Liang. I have reported comment 14.1.1 Lawrence has not been "convicted" of anything. What happened was an internal departmental finding which cannot be called a "conviction" and has no legal weight. Lawrence has also challenged the finding in the Delhi High Court and is being represented by no less than Mr Jawahar Raja, eminent senior counsel. When Wikipedia has made it clear that unsubstantiated defamatory allegations against Lawrence cannot be published, I fail to understand why LI is not following this and publishing such comments. I request LI to adopt practices by Wikipedia and LI readers to be careful, because such comments are liable under both civil and criminal defamation law

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.

Daniel Mathew at NLUD is one of the best teachers I came across in my five years at NLUD. I was taught by Mrinal, Anup, Arul, YP, Chinmayi etc. -- and Daniel Mathew is right there with them when it comes to the quality of his courses, instruction and guidance.

Have to agree on the faculty you mentioned. However, in response to the allegation that they seldom teach, its wrong. While Aparna and Mrinal aren't with us anymore and Chinmayi also isn't teaching, the others are still there and teaching, and are actually either offering a course this seminar for the UG kids or offered a course for UG previous semester.
