The full-time faculty is enriched by a part-time faculty of tremendous distinction. Our proximity to Chandigarh allows us to bring into the classroom some of the top attorneys in the country. They share with our students the insights that can only be generated by years of practice at the highest levels.
The students hone their professional skills through an array of experiential opportunities. Our live-client clinics allow students to work in areas as wide-ranging as International Human Rights, Intellectual Property, Post-Conviction Justice, Alternative Dispute Resolution, Immigration, and Small Business. Our externship program places students in positions in which they can work directly for judges, public interest attorneys, entertainment companies, and government officials.
The reality of law practice today is that, more than ever the high-level legal professional cannot succeed with only the traditional knowledge of the law that may have sufficed in the last century. Today, the best lawyers are those who, in addition to having top-flight legal skills, can also understand and work intelligently with other professionals. As firms seek economies in their operations, they rely more and more heavily on law schools to expose their future attorneys to the kinds of sensibilities that are important to their clients. This means that lawyers must have exposure to the practices and dialects of other professions, as part of their legal training. Our commitment is to ensure that legal education is responsive to the needs of the legal profession.
As legal practice becomes more global, it is essential for lawyers to be able to reach across boundaries. In a world that is becoming ever more inter-connected, we are committed to prepare our lawyers to partner with lawyers from around the globe. At Lala Ami Chand Monga Memorial college of Law, our students form a world-wide network that lasts throughout a career. A tightly knit family,members of Lala Ami Chand Monga Memorial college of Law Trojan Network are known for leadership in their fields and loyalty to each other.

Lala Ami Chand Monga Memorial college of Law itself is small and intimate; students have immediate and easy access to professors, administrators know students by name, and the friendly atmosphere extends from faculty to staff to students.
