ABOUT AMITY LAW SCHOOL (ALS), MADHYA PRADESH , GWALIOR
Amity Law School is a distinct microcosmic institution epitomizing a composite multi-dimensional and multi-national amalgamation of students and faculty members. It is a legal institution par excellence and a hub of legal studies. Since its inception in 2013, it has been growing by leaps and bounds.

The law school is endowed with excellent faculty members and top class infrastructure which is conducive for higher learnings. The case-study method of teaching law is pursued here; the school does not depend on latest edition books as the case materials of B.A.LL.B.(H), BBA.LL.B (H), B.COM.LL.B. (H), LL.B. (H), and LL.M., are revised by the faculty members every semester with dedication, and are circulated among students. In addition to the same, the school has a rich library with print and e-resources.
The faculty members have diversified knowledge and ample experience. Professors from other universities visit the school, deliver lectures to the students and share their experiences. We have also signed memorandums of understanding (MoUs) with the top most universities like Pepperdine University, California (USA). Teaching of law has to be socially relevant, technically advanced and needs to concentrate on newer remunerative branches such as Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs), Insurance Negotiations, Information Technology laws relating to wealth generation like finances including taxation. The Amity Law School caters to all of these.
Strength of the Institution
The strength of ALS is that it contributes exponentially towards making the learning experience inimitably transcendent in its consecrated portals. It aims for the holistic growth and development of the students with special emphasis on professional sophistication and value system, in conformity with our noble traditions of legal system. We believe that learning does not stop in the class room, we keep the windows of knowledge wide open to think out of the box. Life of law is not logic, but experience. Towards the end, we call/invite speakers of excellence from top notch universities to share their experience with our students to help our students become professionally tall.
Every institution boasts a vision and we are not an exception. Right from the beginning, we strenuously endeavored to metamorphose Amity Law School, into a world-class institution imparting legal education accompanying a well cherished dream of becoming an institution of excellence across the globe producing legal professionals with humanitarian propensity. For that very objectives in addition to core academic activities for the career management of the students, we are having three Clubs in ALS, namely, Judiciary Club, JAG Club and Advocacy Club. Students may join any of these Clubs.Despite rigorous training schedule in the National Defence Academy or Indian Military Academy or Officers Training Academy, there used to be Clubs, like Horse Riding Club, Golf Club, Polo Club etc. In these Clubs we would impart special training to the students.
