National Law School of India University (NLSIU), or simply the National Law School (NLS), is a public law school in Bangalore Karnataka, India. The school is one of the preeminent centers of legal education in India.
The university was established by the NLSIU Act of 1986, which was enacted by the Karnataka Legislative Assembly. The school offers a five-year undergraduate Bachelor of Arts–Bachelor of Laws programme (BA.LLB) and a postgraduate single LLB programme, both of which qualify graduates for an admission to the bar.
Spread over a lush 23 acres, the campus houses India's largest legal library and hosts some of the country's well-known competitions and events, including the NLS Debate and Strawberry Fields festival.
The NLSIU is the only Indian institute to have won the Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition, having done so in 1999 and 2013. Furthermore, 25 alumni have been Rhodes scholars.
