Organisation
NALSAR ACT
The National Academy of Legal Studies and Research (NALSAR) was established in 1998 by a Statute of the State of Andhra Pradesh. Since its inception, the University has been home to vital conversations on law and justice. These conversations have acknowledged that questions of justice arise in all legal pursuits whether in the world of courts, corporations, education or administration. Using law as an instrument of social change the University has supported crusades for land rights, disability empowerment, prisoner’s rights and LGBTQA. NALSAR is committed to the creation of an ethical legal culture, which protects and promotes the rule of law. The University believes that the cause of building a rule of law society is a continuous enterprise, which is sustainable if it is undertaken with optimism and good cheer.
With students admitted from all over the country and faculty drawn from home and abroad, NALSAR is counted amongst the top law schools of the country. We are proud of the position but do not see it as defining us. In accord with its liberal outlook, legal education is imparted in an inter-disciplinary manner. Consequently, there is convergence between the disciplines of law, social sciences, humanities, and management studies in both developing and executing the curriculum in the various degree and diploma courses. Teaching we believe becomes monotonous and mediocre unless accompanied with both theoretical and empirical research. A symbiotic relationship between teaching and research has thus been proactively forged in the operation of the academic programs.
The University in all its years of existence has attempted varied strategies to create a vibrant scholastic environment. We continue in honest reflection on what works and what does not as we strive to realize our aims and objectives.

Governing Bodies
The functioning of the University is managed through organisations established in the statute as well as bodies created to implement the statute.

General Council is the plenary authority of the University entrusted with formulating and reviewing, as and when necessary, the broad policies and programmes. The membership of the body encapsulates for the outside world the strength of NALSAR as an institution:
- It serves as a symbol of the overarching guidance that the institution derives from both the judge and the jurist, both of whom are central to creation of knowledge that the university seeks to train its students in.
- It also retains among the members those who have been part of the institution since its inception, thus providing for a degree of continuity of endeavor that was envisaged by these founding fathers.
