White & Case Teams Up With Jindal Global Law School in India

New York and Sonipat, Haryana, India, May 23, 2011 ... Global law firm White & Case LLP and Jindal Global Law School (JGLS) of O.P. Jindal Global University have signed an agreement to develop executive and continuing legal education programs. The agreement, a first between a major US law firm and an Indian law school, calls for visiting faculty arrangements, adjunct professorships, joint conferences and seminars and internships for JGLS students.

"Our collaboration with JGLS is part of the Firm's long-term commitment to India," said Hugh Verrier, chairman of White & Case. "Our association with this pioneering global law school will help prepare a new generation of lawyers who can operate effectively in a globalized world."

"With a very active cross-border India practice, White & Case recognizes the huge role India plays in the global economy," said Nandan Nelivigi, a partner with White & Case and head of the Firm's India Practice. "Teaming up with one of the best law schools in India will allow the Firm, through its social responsibility initiative, to make contributions to the further strengthening of India's legal education system and its legal profession."

"The agreement with White & Case marks a historic opportunity underscoring the importance of globalization of legal education and the legal profession in India," said Professor C. Raj Kumar, Vice Chancellor of O.P. Jindal Global University and Dean of Jindal Global Law School. "This collaboration will provide impetus to raising the quality of legal education in India that will transcend jurisdiction-based learning, but also more importantly, help India develop legal knowledge across different sectors."
