The Placement Committee of Government Law College is one of the most important Committees of

the College, shouldering the responsibility of providing a stepping stone to success to budding

lawyers graduating from the college.

The Committee aims at exhausting all possible opportunities of recruitment with law firms,

counsel, LPOs and corporate houses. It acts as a link between the recruiters and the students,

thereby fulfilling the needs of both, and enabling the students to get placements on campus. The

members of the Placement Committee strive hard to ensure that maximum students from the

college get placed, thus providing them with an opportunity to optimize their skills.

The Annual On-Campus Recruitment Programme 2015 - 2016 was a huge success, as the Placement

Committee, true to its motto, succeeded in having more than 100 top law firms, counsel and

corporate houses recruit our students.

Since the last few years, the Placement Committee has been implementing the recruitment process

throughout the year, thus functioning all year through. The Committee organizes two placement

weeks throughout the year, one in September, which is exclusively for associates, and another in

February, which covers Associates, Article Clerks and Interns. This widening scope of the

Committee is sure to benefit both the students and the potential employers.

The participation of a large number of students, lawyers, solicitors, law firms and corporate houses

was a source of inspiration for all students who work zealously for the Committee, and will

encourage them to undertake the Recruitment Program of the current academic year with even

greater zeal and enthusiasm.

The Placement Committee, that is the Recruitment Coordination Committee, of the college works

ardently throughout the year to ensure that the students get every available opportunity of

recruitment with law firms, LPOs, counsels or corporate houses.

The bi-annual recruitment Programme 2015-16 witnessed par excellence and over whelming

response both from law firms and corporate houses, which made the recruitment Programme a great

success. All the hard work and sincerity of the committee members paid off. Needless to say, it is our

endeavor to make the recruitment Programme 2016-17 a grand success.

The Placement Cell strives for professionalism, commitment and fairness. Above all, it strives for the

promotion of strong relationships between the recruiters and the campus for the ultimate benefit of

both of them. We sincerely hope that our bond with the past recruiters is only strengthened and a

strong bond is made with the new recruiters.

It would indeed be our privilege to cater to your requirements of interns, articled clerks and

associates ( batch of 2017-2018) . The detailed procedure is mentioned in the brochure.

On this note, we look forward to a very successful and positive year ahead, both for our students and

our esteemed recruiters.

Looking back in time, one becomes aware of the immeasurably important role this pioneering law institute has played

in the judicial, political, social and historical background of India. Legal luminaries like Dr B. R. Ambedkar, the architect of

the Indian Constitution, Justice M. C.Chagla, former Chief Justice of the Bombay High Court, Lokmanya Tilak, freedom

fighter, Sir Motilal Setalvad, the first Attorney-General of Independent India, Smt. Prathiba Patil, Hon'ble Ex-President

of India, Mr. Goolam E. Vahanwati, the Attorney-General of India and many other prominent personalities have left

their footprints behind for time immemorial. Today, one cannot help but relive all those memorable moments which

contributed to making this institution the most distinguished law college in the country. With a heritage spanning more

than a century and a half, the Government Law College, Mumbai, has dominated the legal landscape of India since 1855.

The College is a staunch believer in the importance of knowledge and the freedom of expression. It is an educational

institution endowed with a tremendously scholastic environment, a thoroughly competent faculty and professionally

focused students. Along with a rigorous curriculum, the college boasts of several co-curricular activities such as Moot

Court Competitions, Debates, publishing of the Law Review and College Magazine, providing Legal Aid, etc. It believes

that it is essential to bring together the youth of today in spirited debate and discussion, to facilitate a better

understanding and to tackle the global issues faced today. Before 1855, there was no formal legal education for legal

officers and lawyers in this country. In the same year, the Government Law School was established at the Elphistone

Institute. Government Law College, Mumbai, which completed its sesquicentennial year in 2005, is one of the premier

law colleges in India and has produced scores of distinguished alumni who have made an enduring impact on the legal

jurisprudence of the country.

WHY GLC ?

GLC believes in the blend of imparting education along with gaining practical experience, thus ensuring that students

are well versed with the intricacies of the practical application of law in diverse areas, even before graduating.

Solicitors: Government Law College is one of the few legal institutions which gives its students an opportunity to enrol

for the Solicitors' Exams while undergoing their Graduation studies. Taking full advantage of being situated in the

financial capital of India, the students of GLC work as article clerks simultaneously, thereby fulfilling one of the

requirements of a full-fledged solicitor.

Chartered Accountant, Company Secretary, Chartered Financial Accountant: Students get an opportunity to undergo

add-on professional courses like C.S, C.A and C.F.A. These courses enable students to expand their knowledge and

awareness even as fresh graduates.

INTERNSHIPS: Corporate / Law Firms / LPOs: Mumbai, the commercial capital of India, is home to several Law Firms,

Corporate Houses and MNCs. Due to flexible lecture timings, students start pursuing their internships from the second

year of college itself. Thus, at the time of graduation, they have the expertise and knowledge, which can be considered

to be at par with working law professionals. GLC is the only educational institution which exposes its students to a

Pandora of work opportunities in the legal field.

Judicial: The proximity of the college to the Bombay High Court offers yet another incentive to the college students.

They undergo internships under sitting judges, counsel and senior counsel. The presence of famous legal luminaries at a

close proximity to the college encourages our students to go beyond the curriculum and undertake long-term

internships and thus enables them to outshine others in the practical field. During college vacations, our students have

successfully interned with Supreme Court judges as well.

mèLAWnge

The Magazine Committee of Government Law College, Mumbai, traces its origin to the year 1930. Since its inception, the Committee has evolved in a way so as to keep abreast of changing times. The annual college magazine published by the Committee is méLAWnge, adapted from the French word 'mélange', which means a fusion or blend. It mirrors the diverse range of activities – from moot courts to social service – witnessed by GLC every year. Its miscellany exhibits the talent, art, and creative genius of potential writers, poets, and authors, while providing a dash of much needed humour. The committee conducts two annual, national-level essay writing competitions – the Vyas Government Law College National Legal Essay Writing Competition and Belles Lettres: J. E. Dastur Memorial Short Fiction Essay Writing Competition, as well as an intra-college essay writing competition – the Sir Dinshah Mulla Legal Essay Writing Competition. The flagship event of the Magazine Committee is Knock-Out! – an enthralling debate based on a relevant legal matter.

LAW REVIEW

The 'Law Review', being the core publication of legal research and writing of the college, provides a platform for students to hone their writing skills and display their originality of thought. Articles, being a reflection of the broadening horizon of the students' vision and interdisciplinary approach to writing, range from fields as varied as Securities Law and IPR, Taxation and Cyber Laws and even issues like the entry of foreign law firms into India.

This Journal has published articles written by Justice Roshan Dalvi, Justice S. Radhakrishnan, Justice V.G. Palshikar and Justice D.R.Dhanuka on various topics.The Law Review of Government Law College, Mumbai was privileged to have former late Chief Justice of India,Mr. Y.V.

performance at inter- collegiate competitions and

internal eliminations, students are given the opportunity

to represent the college at various national level debate competitions. 'Policy Conclave' and 'Nishith Desai

Parliamentary Debate Global Competition' are the two flagship events of DebSoc. While Policy Conclave aims to

familiarise college as well as school students with issues of national as well as international importance by providing a

platform of interaction with experts on such issues, the Parliamentary Debate Competition aims at creating a name for

GLC in the national debating circuit by providing a platform which witnesses quality debates among students across the

country. Aiming to expand their vision, DebSoc has come up with a nascent initiative 'Debate For A Cause' in

collaboration with Bombay Progressive Fellowship Society to inculcate a debating culture among students of the state
