Introduction
The National University of Advanced Legal Studies (NUALS)
was established by the State of Kerala by Act 27 of 2005
to be a national level institute of excellence in higher
learning of law in the State. The Government of Kerala
constituted this University by merging the erstwhile National
Institute for Advanced Legal Studies (NIALS), which
was established and managed by the Bar Council of Kerala
and Bar Council of Kerala Trust. NIALS was then the
approved centre of the Cochin University of Science &
Technology and recognised by that University. By
the merging of NIALS to the University, all the students
of NIALS became the students of this University and
all the assets and liabilities were also transferred. |
