“JSS Law college blends the study law with social responsibility. The institution gave us the infrastructure, curriculum and the intellectual capital to succeed. As students we were disciplined to learn the practice of law along with the theories. We took pride in legal aid as early as in 1996 and established a culture of moot court exercises. ‘Young India Environmental Law Fellowship’ was awarded to Dr. Sairam Bhat in 2003.
