The Government Law College has no hostel of its own. However, 62 seats for male students of the College in the Government Colleges Hostel, “C” Road, Churchgate and 20 Seats for male students at the Ismail Yusuf College at Jogeshwari, Mumbai has been provided. A good number of students also reside at the International Students Hostel, which is a stone’s throw away from the college, and at several paying guest arrangements in South Mumbai.There are two girls' hostels - Savitridevi hostel and Telang Smarak Girls hostel offer accommodation to female students of various colleges affiliated to the Mumbai University. The hostel accommodation and facilities are fair enough and in fact, very convenient for the students. For admission to the hostel, the students need to apply independently. Admission to the college does not guarantee accommodation in the hostel.  With the college and hostels being situated in the heart of the city, the students practically have no great inconveniences and can find, virtually, anything and everything they require.

===Library and Reading Room===
 +
 +
The Government Law College library is known for its rare collection of books and treatise on various subjects not limited to law. It is probably the most frequently visited section of the college, and most certainly the haven for the dedicated law students.
 +

The Harilal J. Kania Memorial Library and Reading Room located on the third floor of the college only has been a part of this college since 1952. The first and the second floors of the annex- building house various books on case law, some of which are two hundred years old. The Library also possesses the original copy of the Indian Penal Code as drafted by Lord Macaulay in the year 1886, Constituent assembly debates and the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha debates. Collectively, the library houses over 42,000 books, some of which cannot be found in any other library in India.

 +
===IT Infrastructure===
 +
The Electronic Research Room (ERR) situated on the ground floor of the Annexe building of the college is a state of the art Research Room and Computer Centre. The ERR is equipped with the 10 PCs, and is extremely useful to students representing the college at various moot court and research paper competitions. The ERR also has printing facilities as well as a mini library. The ERR provides students access to the following legal databases such as Manupatra Online, Westlaw etc. These legal databases are a powerful tool for speedy, inexpensive legal research providing students with instant access to case-law, legislation and legal articles at the click of a mouse.

===Mooting===
 +
 +
Mooting is an integral part of student life at GLC, and the Moot Court Association co-ordinates all mooting activities at the college. Students from all batches are eligible to represent GLC in inter-collegiate moots. The most prestigious intra-college moot is the Grand Moot, which allows the final rankers to represent GLC at several elite of Indian moots. Common Eliminations are held from time to time for one or more moots, that aren't included in the Grand Moot. A unique feature of GLC mooting is that GLC does not restrict its participation to elite national moots, but also participates in smaller national moots, and even several state level and city level moots. This being in tune with the objective of giving every student a chance to moot at whatever level they are most comfortable with, mainly for the experience.

As an annual tradition, GLC hosts the reputed Nani Palkhivala National Tax Moot Court Competition, the globally renowned D.M Harish Memorial International Moot Court Competition, The Chief Justice M. C. Chagla Memorial Moot Court Competition, Kanga Memorial Moot Court Competition and the N.B. Naik Memorial Government law College State Marathi Moot Court Competition.
