About Us

The law is the cement of society and essential medium of change. Education, especially the legal education makes a citizen responsible, vibrant and constructive. The law transforms the society, and legal education encourages the citizen to think about transformation or reform.
Legal Education and its teaching in India now are on the crossroads. Conventional law teaching with its traditional subjects is no more adequate even to court practice. It is now challenged and beset with emerging technical scientific and business issues. On the other hand, to mitigate the demands of professionals in corporate legal service sector, law needs to be technically focused and articulated. Demand of technical laws are increasing with the growth of regulatory authorities which requires techno-legal solution by the law officials in any organization, particularly, to reduce the cost of litigation either in court or tribunal. So what is the need of the hour being to customize law with science, management and engineering. Corporate Sector and Universities are coming forward to shape the legal education with their dynamic knowledge of engineering, management and technology. With these perspective, Department of Law of UEM offers 5 years integrated undergraduate courses in law (BBA.LLB (Hons.) approved by Bar Council of India) that has been carefully crafted and designed to prepare its graduates for rewarding careers in legal service organizations, apart from court practices.
