Founded in 2006, Durgapur Institute of Legal Studies is in the process of establishing itself as a pivotal institution of excellence, scholarship and rigor among the law institutions of the third generation. We are committed to teaching the techniques of lawyering at the highest level as well as entering into a dialogue with our students about values and justice. Our central focus is to treat law as an instrument of social change and law as a tool to face the challenges of emerging complexities of industrializing societies. We are constantly innovating to ensure and pioneer new and better ways to train the legal talent of tomorrow.
