Jindal Global Law School signs MoUs with 4 leading Law Schools in USA & Australia

The international collaborations include student and faculty mobility programmes, dual degree programmes, pathways to post graduate studies and joint research opportunities.

Jindal Global Law School (JGLS) of O.P. Jindal Global University (JGU) has entered into four new international collaborations with leading law schools and universities in the USA and Australia that include American University, Ohio State University, University of Southern California and Bond University.

The specific type of international collaborations include student and faculty mobility programmes, dual degree programmes, pathways to post graduate studies and joint research opportunities.

The list of the new partner institutions are:

• The American University Washington College of Law, American University, Washington D.C., USA

• Michael E. Moritz College of Law, Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, USA

• USC Gould School of Law, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California, USA

• Bond University, Australia

Reflecting on these new collaborations, Professor (Dr.) C. Raj Kumar, Founding Vice Chancellor, O.P. Jindal Global University and Dean, Jindal Global Law School stated that, “Our relentless pursuit of international collaborations continues, as we realize, it is the key to open global possibilities for students and faculty members. The legal profession as it stands today and the type of issues modern-day lawyers have to deal with demand transnational and comparative understanding of law, and the perspective essential for developing such an understanding becomes possible only if we are able to situate the global within our domestic contexts. We also need to develop the qualities and values of empathy, mutual respect, and reciprocity which should be cultivated in individuals through conscious and collective efforts. All these are part of our shared responsibility to the generation and progeny. Herein comes the relevance of international collaborations.”

Commenting on the establishment of these new partnerships, Prof S.G. Sreejith, Executive Dean, JGLS observed, “This is a fantastic opportunity for students studying at JGLS. These collaborations include student and faculty mobility programmes, dual degree programmes, pathways to post graduate studies and joint research opportunities. The faculty exchange programme promotes joint research and publications and development of globally relevant pedagogy.”
