Prof. Shivprasad Swaminathan, Dean & Professor of the Shiv Nadar School of Law, said- “Our goal is to create a new generation of lawyers who are not only proficient in legal doctrine but also possess the practical skills required to forge successful legal careers. The Shiv Nadar School of Law will emphasize on tacit knowledge of the law—which involves a kind of aesthetic legal sensibility which will enable students to transcend narrow silos and think in creative ways required to address contemporary and future legal challenges.”
