White & Case and Jindal Law School join hands to build up legal education programs

Global law firm White & Case and Jindal Global Law School (JGLS) of O.P. Jindal Global University have joined forces to develop executive and continuing legal education programs. The firm and the school have entered a memorandum of understanding to provide knowledge partnership and offer internships. Speaking to Bar & Bench Professor C. Raj Kumar, O.P. Jindal Global University Vice-Chancellor and JGLS Dean said: “This relationship with White & Case is part of our effort to underscore the importance of providing global legal education to our students. One of the important aspect of this global unification is to engage with international institutions, international law firms and global law schools around the world”. He further added, “White & Case is one of the most prestigious corporate law firm, for them it is knowledge based partnership. What it means at least for us is that instead of law firms in India and around the world looking at law schools to be purely sort of recruitment agencies, what we have tried to do is to provide a framework where we see each other as knowledge partners”.
