About the Faculty of Law, AMU

The Faculty of Law, Aligarh Muslim University is one of the oldest institutions in India. The teaching of Law in AMU was introduced in the year 1883. Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, the Founder was greatly impressed by the Programme of Legal Education in British Universities. So he was very keen to have legal education on that pattern in AMU also. In 1960, the Department of Law came into being as a full-fledged Faculty. Credit goes to Late Prof. Hafizul Rehman (who was also the first Dean) to develop a modern curriculum and research programme. In fact, he was the architect of the present Faculty of Law. The Faculty of Law has produced innumerable legal icons who have rendered their services to many reputed Law Faculties in India. Their services have been acknowledged both at the Bench and the Bar. Some of its illustrious products who rose to senior and eminent positions in judiciary include the Supreme Court Judges such as Mr. Justice Baharul Islam, Mr. Justice Murtaza Fazle Ali, and Mr. Justice R. P. Sethi.

The Faculty is the pioneer Faculty to bring about a radical change in legal education in India to make it modern, socially relevant, economically viable, professionally job oriented, and humanistic. Because of the great efforts of our Faculty teachers and students are able to prove that the Faculty of Law is a great seat of excellence in terms of academics and higher research. Though we have been amongst the top ten premier Law Faculties for the last many years, this year, the Faculty has reached the pinnacles of rankings i.e. stood 6th in India.
