“Education’s purpose is to replace an empty mind
with an open one.”
Malcolm Forbes
The logo of National Law University, Delhi is composed of 3 elements: N (N),
L (L) and U (U) which are interlinked by the second element (L or Law). In its
totality it represents the harmonious confluence of disparate elements (disciplines)
and levels: a rule that Law and its executive, the judicial system, also performs.
Individually, the “N” and “U” are downward-and upward - facing respectively,
symbolising polar (and complementary) outlooks through which Law threads its
way. The extension of “L” or Law to the last level (or layer) attempts to encapsulate
the concerns of social justice. The emphasis is on the rule of Law (represented by
the ‘L’) in promoting social justice, particularly targeting the vulnerable population.
Its columnar arrangement suggests an upholding of justice, equality, fraternity and
human rights in all their facets in a secular democracy.

14FACULTY SPEAKS
Prof. (Dr.) Harpreet Kaur
Professor (Law)
Taught Corporate Law
It’s a pleasure to introduce the Batch of 2020 to prospective employers. Having interacted
with them for a period of two semesters, I am impressed with their intellectual capabilities
and communication skills. Their research qualities highlight their clear understanding of
concepts and the eagerness to learn. I wish them all the best for their future and I am
sure they will do justice to any work which is assigned to them.
Mr. Yogesh Pai
Assistant Professor (Law)
Taught Intellectual Property Rights
The ‘20 batch is NLUD’s crème de la crème in the making! I had an opportunity to
teach them a compulsory paper on Intellectual Property, specially covering Patents, Plant
Varieties and Trade Secrets in their penultimate year. I must emphasise that the batch is
very hard working and shows great promise. They are a bunch of curious listeners and
argumentative, too. I am sure they will bring out their best by employing the skills and
legal knowledge they have acquired during their academic journey with NLUD. I am
hopeful posterity will remember the ‘20 batch as having contributed to a vibrant campus
culture and for serving the best of academic traditions during their campus life. True
to NLUD’s vision and objectives, I am sure they will be professionally-competent and
socially-relevant as they begin their respective journeys in the legal world.
Prof. (Dr.) Ruhi Paul
Professor (Law)
Taught Civil Procedure Code & Alternative
Dispute Resolution
I had a very enriching experience while teaching the batch of 2020. I have witnessed
the overall performance of the batch getting better with each passing year of their stay
at the National Law University, Delhi. This is a very focused batch of students not only
in academic and research activities but also other extra and co-curricular activities.
Students of this batch are very well - mannered, hardworking, dedicated, professional and
disciplined. I am sure, with all these qualities, each and every student of Batch of 2020 will
be a valuable asset to any institution that they will join.
Dr. Risham Garg
Associate Professor (Law)
Taught Law of Contracts
It is my privilege as a teacher to write a note of recommendation for the class of 2020.
I have taught them a few courses and also had the occasion to interact closely with
them in a few conferences. Teaching them each course has been a pleasure as they
have been keen students in class, participating in class discussions and never failing to
initiate interaction. I have always been impressed with their inquisitiveness and quest for
knowledge through attendance at symposiums, seminars and personal communication
with other experienced professionals in the field. I am confident that they will continue
to display the same level of commitment and enthusiasm as they did at National Law
University Delhi.
