Rajiv Gandhi School of Intellectual Property Law (RGSoIPL) is the only Law School in the whole IIT system. RGSoIPL was established in the year 2006 with the endeavour to integrate technology and law to build lawyers with expertise to deal with legal issues in the interface of technology and law. We aspire to produce lawyers with interdisciplinary strength. RGSoIPL believes in holistic growth, with research being a core area of focus.
The RGSOIPL and its faculty constantly strive to cultivate and nurture the spirit of excellence among the students. The educational curriculum of the School includes a three-year Bachelor’s Degree in Law (LL.B Hons. in IP Law), a two-year Master’s Degree in Law (LL.M) and a Doctoral Programme (Ph.D).
Realizing the ever widening application of ‘law’ and to neutralize the ongoing intrigue and bickering challenges taking place all through, it has been inevitable to revisit ‘the structural and operational facets’ of law and to draw inference for innovative research. In this regard, the RGSOIPL is organizing a two-day National Colloquium on Legal Research. The colloquium will provide an outstanding forum for legal researchers, who are interested to pursue their carer in academics and research. This colloquium will provide a unique platform for intensive deliberations on various aspects of research and methodology with leading academicians.
The prime objective of the colloquium is to enable the participants to relook at their research problem and approach it with better scientific temper. The colloquium intends to acquaint participants with different facets, dynamics, and emerging trends in legal research and methodology from the stage of formulation of a research problem to report writing and to equip them with the requisite skills to (re)shape their research problem (if necessary), pursue it in a systematic and effective manner and present it in an impressive manner.
