Equipping the Next Generation of Lawyers
for a Complex World

At RVU’s School of Law, students explore the intersections of law with business, economics, social sciences, technology and
public policy. Our approach broadens perspectives and equips future lawyers to address complex legal and societal
challenges with clarity and impact.

Preparing Legal Minds to Lead with Knowledge and Perspective

The School of Law (SoL) is born out of a desire to provide quality legal education in India. It joins the existing five schools of RVU dealing with liberal arts and sciences, design, economics, business and computer science and engineering. Our students will be in a unique position to explore intersections between law and other disciplines such as business, economics, social sciences, technology and public policy. This intersectional approach will help the students look at law with a broader lens.
