Amrita University inaugurated the Amrita International School of Law (AISL) at its Coimbatore campus in Tamil Nadu on September 11, 2025. Amma’s vision is to offer legal education that combines professional expertise with ethics and compassion. This will inspire lawyers who champion human rights, promote peace, and lead efforts towards a just and equitable global order.
With a strong emphasis on fostering inclusivity, and social responsibility, the goal is to emerge as a premier international institution in legal education, practice, and research in a rapidly shifting world of digital technologies.
The school was inaugurated by India’s Union Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal, Minister of State Ministry of Law and Justice (Independent Charge) and Minister of Parliamentary Affairs.
“Artificial Intelligence cannot apply constitutional morality. As we enter an era of Artificial Intelligence, 3D printing, and the Internet of Things, it is important to remember that the ultimate deciding factor in our lives will always be the human element guided by values,” he said in his address.
AISL redefines legal education in India through its distinguished faculty, integrated research, international exposure, vast industry partnerships and a future-ready curriculum. It aims to transform every law aspirant into a leader who upholds justice and protects the vulnerable through their legal acumen and values.
The school provides integrated undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, experiential training through moot courts and legal aid, and opportunities for international collaboration and exposure.
Justice KR Shriram, Chief Justice of the Rajasthan High Court, joined as Guest of Honour, while Justice L Victoria Gowri, Judge of the Madras High Court, delivered the keynote address.
Swami Ramakrishnananda Puri, Treasurer and Trustee of Mata Amritanandamayi Math and Member of the University’s Executive Council, delivered the benedictory address.
The ceremony began with the inauguration of AISL’s new Moot Court Hall and academic facilities. Dr Anil G Variath, Dean of AISL, welcomed the gathering, and Dr P Venkat Rangan, Amrita’s Vice Chancellor, presented mementos to the dignitaries. The programme concluded with a vote of thanks by Dr P. Ajith Kumar, Registrar.
