ST. STEPHEN’S COLLEGE AND PRECONCEPT CREATE SCHOOL FOR
LEGAL STUDIES

 

 

The St. Stephen’s School for Legal Studies

The School for Legal Studies is the result of a
collaborative effort by St. Stephen’s College and
Preconcept. The School is an innovative step in
advancing practical legal training. The focus will be
on legal management, including issues like managing
litigation and commercial confrontation, managing an
intellectual property portfolio in India and abroad
and training managers and in-house counsel in working
with external legal counsel. The School for Legal
Studies is a research and learning centre for basic
and advanced legal management. The School will not
focus on traditional aspects like degree programmes
and will instead focus on “practising law”. The
programmes whether taught courses or research projects
will be based on ground level implementation of law
and policy. The courses are structured and taught by
practising legal professionals whether in professional
service or in the Government. The Director, Rodney D.
Ryder, emphasises that the School for Legal Studies
would be at the forefront with “innovative legal
education at the school level as well”. “The School”,
he said, “would focus on Legal Novitiate Education
with path breaking concepts such as how to be a good
client”. The unique aspect would be the industry –
community interface and the concept of ‘the law as
strategy’.

 

The School for Legal Studies has Centres for
Technology Law and Policy, Intellectual Property and
Media Law Studies. During the present academic year
(2004-2005), the School will conduct workshops and
training programmes, such as ‘Patent Law for
Engineers’, ‘Brand Protection and Trademark Law for
Marketers’, ‘Data Protection and Corporate Compliance’
and ‘Intellectual Property and the Art of War for the
Sales Team’.

 

This year, the School has introduced diploma courses,
such as: ‘Internet Law and Policy’ and ‘Intellectual
Property: Law, Practice and Management.’ 

[a]            Internet Law and Policy [a course in
cyberspace law and practice]

The topics in the course cover the most pervasive and
general forms of regulation that can affect most types
of transactions, publications and other interactions
in cyberspace.  The legal content of the course is
based on the laws of India, considered in its
international context. 

[b]            Intellectual Property: Law, Practice
and Management

This course aims to provide an introduction to the
law, economics and management of Intellectual Property
(IP) and innovation for those whose future career may
involve the management of IP and innovation. It is
intended for those for whom Intellectual Property will
play an important role in their work.
