[edit] List of Notable Alumni
Could someone who knows please add a list of "notable alumni"? --sol 08:15, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Encyclopedia article, not NLS webpage on the net.
Contributors, please note that this page is meant as an encyclopedia article on NLS, and not as a page for students of NLS to generally disseminate information on NLS. I don't think language like, "In addition our journals", etc., should be used in the article. --sol 14:29, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Motto
Does anyone know if NLSIU has an official motto of any kind? --sol 14:30, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Removal of Promotional Part
- Please read the What Wikipedia is not section carefully WP:NOT. Wikipedia is not a place to promote your organisation, institute or firm.
- Therefore, I have removed this part from the page.
- "If you are a prospective student of NLS, please do not be deterred by the high fees. As the scholarship page on this website illustrates, availability of easy loans, and need based financial assistance by the University ensures that no student has had to leave NLS once he/she has got admission due to lack of finances. Ragging is also strictly prohibited on campus, and in the past years has been practically eliminated."
- "and in the past years has been practically eliminated" (about ragging) <--- please cite sources. (Please read WP:CW and WP:NPOV)
- I have removed the alumus link Alumni website because it does not work properly.
- The alumini of the NLSIU has indeed been very successful in the legal arena as well as out of it. But, it definately requires proper sources to be cited. (I am not removing that part of the article)
This is just for the humour part: (and it is a POV of mine)
I completely believe that NLSIU is the best law school in India. There have been doubts about India Today's credibility after it reported that ILS Law College, Pune is India's top law college. Complete Bullshit!

[edit] Article tone-General Observations
The article has been authored/edited by someone from the institution in a self promotion tone..use of words like 'our dedicated' etc..set the tone and style of the article. It is more like a prospectus/brochure than a Wikipedia article. It lacks references of the claims made. It gives out very common day to day activities (which are not necessary for WP article)in an effort to market the School. The article needs thorough rehaul immediately. Any other interested editors are welcome to join me in revamping the article. Brothers in Arms 17:00, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Non-encyclopedic?
"Teams from NLSIU regularly take part in moot court competitions and parliamentary debates at an international level. In 1999, the NLSIU team won what is arguably the most prestigious moot competition in the world, the Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition conducted by the ILSA which is held in Washington, D.C., every year. Furthermore, it has also won the Stetson International Environment Moot Court Competition conducted by the Stetson University College of Law in Florida. It has also regularly participated and made the break many times in the Willem C. Vis Commercial Arbitration moot (hosted by Pace Law School), making the quarter-finals in 2004 and 2005 (making the cut in second place), and has been a semi-finalist in the Manfred Lachs Space Law Moot. NLSIU teams have also been regular at the World Universities Debating Championship as well as the All-Asian Intervarsity Debating Championships."
Why was this removed? I believe it perfectly encyclopedic as it describes the activities of the NLSIU. Michaelas10 16:16, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
- Any good law school would engage itself in these competitions or activities.It is not worth mention unless the author intends to market the school concerned. Secondly,the material is unencyclopedic since it absolutely lacks sources. WP is not a place for original reasearch. The points made out should be sourced from a verfifable material.(lacks references).

- Sorry but I don't understand the first reason you provided. As for the second reason, you can just tag it with {{originalresearch}} or {{unreferenced}} instead of removing the hard work of others. Michaelas10 12:47, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
....i would say..the part can be retained (after modification) if somebody tones it down n makes it simple.i thought u would understand what i meant by unencyclopedic..u being Barnstar longstanding member..Unencyclopedic..includes many things..this material is like 'lifted off' straight from a brouchure...it falls short of WP Standards.

[edit] Ambush editing?
A user who has been particularly active in editing the "NALSAR" and "Hyderabad" pages on WP has thought it fit to remove the adjectives "India's premier" preceding the words "legal institution" in the opening paragraph. I am not going to be childish enough to revert the change, and invite his/her comments on why exactly it is unwise to call a spade a spade on Wikipedia.
Your thoughts, sir?
