Legal entrepreneurship is an inherently multi-disciplinary exercise that moves beyond the classical lawyers’ perceived boundaries. Legal entrepreneurship are thus best viewed as the process of achieving a distinctive, sustainable position in the economic market by the deliberate and innovative exploitation of one or more legal flexibilities. Thus, an entrepreneurship cell is an important branch in any educational institution today.
The Legal Entrepreneurship & Incubation Cell seeks to perform the following roles:
- Firstly, it shall act as a think tank to devise new ways to amalgamate legal education with entrepreneurial training.
- Secondly, it shall ensure that the ways devised by it are implemented effectively so as to produce the desired result.
- Thirdly, it shall ensure a smooth introduction of entrepreneurial education into the law school curriculum and make an appropriate strategy for the same. The strategy shall be revised from time to time.
- Fourthly, the cell shall fill the gap between planning and implementation of the entrepreneurial training of law students.
