It gives great joy to witness an educational institution grow from strength to strength with each passing year. KLE College of Law, Navi Mumbai is fast emerging as a leading institution in grooming professionals for the legal fraternity. This is evident in the engagements at the institution. They seem to get bigger and better with each passing year.
Education in law or for that matter any field of learning is incomplete without hands on learning. Interactions between peers and domain experts are also very important. A gathering of legal luminaries including faculty, representatives from the judiciary and enthusiastic students is the perfect recipe for equipping both institutions and individuals with relevant skills.
