The pedagogy at the Shri Vaishnav Institute of Law is regularly adapted to suit the students who are at the Institute from across India. The faculty provides course readings to the students, drawing from their research outcomes to help them have a fresh outlook on the latest legal developments and develop in them a habit to think outside the box. In the practical sense, every area of Law and every skill required by a student in his/her professional life cannot be taught but the focus at the SVIL is to train students to become lifelong learners through discipline, hard work and practice.
The academic environment encourages individual as well as group thinking to get the passing out batch in a state of cohesiveness to achieve success in their future professional lives. The laurels, awards, and accomplishments of the students at SVIL is proof enough of this pedagogy which could be summarised as follows:
- A team delivers classroom lectures of dedicated faculty members who not only teach but also inculcate a sense of discipline, ethics and hard work in the students.
- Discussions and debates are carried out on a regular basis to enhance analytical and logical thinking among students for their future roles as efficient orators.
- Legal writing and analysis in addition to case studies or Term Papers are assigned to improve practical learning and inculcate problem-solving skills.
- Regular assessment of students is done through 2 MSTs (Mid Semester Tests), assignments with a focus on quality research, judgment analysis, and case studies in emerging areas of the legal field.
- Webinar sessions are undertaken by the research centers to maximize participation in focused areas of research.
- Smart teaching plans are incorporated with the effective use of digital tools with the objective to assist the students in adapting to modern work practices and techniques.
- Guest lectures, intra-institute competitions and brainstorming sessions are frequently conducted to provide an in-house platform for student participation and overall personality development of students.
