“The rule of law is better than the rule of a tyrant.
— Aristotle
Legal education is a sine qua non for all. “Ignorantia juris non excusat” means ignorance of law is no excuse.
As Principal of Dr. Ambedkar College of Law, Mumbai, it is a matter of great honour and pride for me to introduce this premier law college in the capital city of Maharashtra.
During its long journey of more than four decades, the College has established a strong footprint in legal education. It gives us great pleasure to introduce ourselves as one of the oldest law colleges in the city.
The chief architect of the Constitution of India, Bharat Ratna Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, laid down important objectives behind the foundation of the People's Education Society. We are proud to march on the same path in order to fulfil the dream of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar.
