The School of Public Law is one of the principal schools at the National Law University, Orissa. The institution of the school is of special significance in light of the distinction between private and public law blurring. Emergent circumstantial change, especially the kind brought about by technological advancement, is on the verge of dismantling, and restructuring this traditional categorization. In this context we realize a whole new research area has opened up and the school of public law at NLUO intends to explore and contribute to the same. The school will research, educate and advise in areas associated with human rights, good governance and criminal justice, both domestically and internationally. The school has since its inception organized countless tutorials, and invited scores of noted scholars to conduct classes for specialized areas. The aim of the school is to promote research in the area of public law, and to develop into a research centre of international repute.
