Vice-Chancellor Professor C Raj Kumar, OP Jindal Global University (JGU) and Dean Anthony Varona, Seattle University School of Law have signed two crucial agreements for creating new opportunities for law students in India and the United States to pursue a global education.
After the universities have inked the MoU, students at Jindal Global Law School (JGLS) will have opportunities to pursue an LLM degree at Seattle University School of Law while they finish their final year at JGLS with concentrations in American Legal Studies or Technology, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship.
Professor (Dr.) C. Raj Kumar, Founding Vice Chancellor of JGU and Founding Dean of JGLS remarked: “This partnership will help students build a strong foundation in academic fundamentals and at the same time provide the required skills and knowledge necessary to compete in a global marketplace. I am certain that partnerships like this one will help build young professionals who are ready to take up global challenges. JGU has always been driven by global ambitions, aiming to partake in India’s progress to the centre-stage of global happenings. I am delighted that we have taken yet another step in that direction,” as reported by Bar and Bench.
As part of the academic credit system, the programme also offers opportunities to work with Seattle-based employers, including multi-national corporations (including Amazon, Microsoft, and Boeing), international tribunals, and government agencies. Students from India will have the opportunity to study with world-class professors and gain real work experience to become globally trained lawyers.
Reciprocally, students at Seattle University School of Law will have the opportunity to participate in an India Immersion Programme in March 2023, which includes lectures, workshops, study tours to legal and other public institutions, and cultural visits.
