The Dhirubhai Ambani University School of Law is thrilled to announce the launch of its PhD in Law program for the academic year 2025-26. This program, designed for scholars, professionals, and policymakers, offers a rare opportunity to delve into cutting-edge research themes that are relevant to real-world legal practice and policy.

The program focuses on three strategic research domains: Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG); Carbon Markets and Sustainability; Artificial Intelligence, Data Protection, and Technology Law; and Construction Law and Arbitration. These domains have been carefully chosen to address emerging legal challenges connected to technological growth, infrastructure expansion, and environmental accountability.

A unique aspect of the program is its dual-mentorship (co-supervision) model. Each PhD scholar is guided by an academic supervisor from the university, who holds a PhD and has subject expertise, and an industry supervisor, typically a senior lawyer or General Counsel with over 10 years of experience relevant to the scholar’s research area. This model ensures a balance of academic rigor and practical industry relevance.

For full-time scholars, the program offers a monthly research fellowship of ₹50,000, and tuition is waived for the first three years. There are three seats available for such scholars. Part-time scholars, on the other hand, can expect to pay ₹3,00,000 per year for tuition, with a total of three seats available.

Part-time scholars also benefit from an annual international immersion trip for the first three years. This opportunity provides a valuable chance to broaden their perspectives and network with peers from around the world.

The program is suitable for legal academics, early-career researchers, and professionals from law firms, regulatory bodies, and think tanks who wish to influence legal education and policy, contribute to industry-aligned research, and gain advanced expertise in specialized, high-demand legal fields.

The vision of the program aligns with Viksit Bharat 2047, preparing scholars to contribute to India's long-term developmental goals. Interested applicants can find program details and start their application through the provided links.

In summary, the program’s uniqueness lies in its selective cutting-edge research themes, co-supervision by academic and industry mentors, and relevance to real-world legal practice and policy, catering to both full-time and working professionals. The program is now accepting applications for the academic year 2025-26. Don't miss out on this opportunity to shape the future of legal education and policy in India!
