Mentoring Committee

Fostering excellence through institutional mentorship, guided by eminent legal professionals and distinguished academics from across the globe.

A Unique Mentorship Framework

Vinayaka Mission's Law School is unique not only in its vision – excellence through inclusivity, and a steadfast emphasis on digital futures and climate transitions – but also its governance model. We are the first Indian legal education institution to be formally mentored by another private law school, arguably India's finest at that – the Jindal Global Law School, and Jindal Global University, an institution of eminence. The active Mentoring Committee created under this one-of-its-kind mentorship agreement consists of eminent senior lawyers and distinguished academics, who steer VMLS towards its goals and vision.
