Maharashtra National Law University, Nagpur is a state public National Law University established by the Government of Maharashtra under the Maharashtra National Law University Act, 2014. The university was created as part of Maharashtra’s decision to establish autonomous National Law Universities at Mumbai, Nagpur, and Aurangabad, and it identifies itself as the nineteenth National Law University in India. Its campus is located near Waranga at Dongargaon, in the Butibori area of Nagpur. The university’s academic mission is the advancement of legal education, professional training, and research. Its undergraduate offering is the integrated B.A. LL.B. (Hons.) programme, while postgraduate, doctoral, diploma, and certificate programmes broaden opportunities for specialized study. Admission to the undergraduate law programme is linked to the Common Law Admission Test process, placing the university within the national NLU admissions system. MNLU Nagpur promotes an interactive academic environment built around lectures, seminars, research, writing, discussion, and professional skill development. Its legal curriculum is intended not only to teach statutes and case law but also to strengthen reasoning, interpretation, advocacy, research methodology, and awareness of law’s relationship with society. The university has progressively developed academic centres, student activities, and research initiatives in areas of contemporary legal significance. Nagpur’s position as the seat of the Nagpur Bench of the Bombay High Court and as a major administrative centre in central India adds a professional context to the university’s location. The institution’s public mandate emphasizes access to advanced legal education, development of competent legal professionals, and research that contributes to justice and law reform. As its academic and physical infrastructure has expanded, MNLU Nagpur has continued to build an identity that combines the national character of the NLU system with a regional base in Vidarbha. Nagpur enables engagement with courts and public institutions, connecting study with litigation, governance and practice.
