About Us — A.M.P. Law College, Rajkot

Our Origins

History

Established in 1955, A.M.P. (Government) Law College, Rajkot, holds the distinction of being the first state-run law institution in the Saurashtra region. Initially functioning under Dharmendrasinhji College, it gained independent status in 1978. The college was later renamed in honour of Late Shri Amrutlal Mansang Parekh — a respected philanthropist known for his invaluable contributions to education and society.

Since its inception, the college has remained affiliated with Saurashtra University. It complies with the academic and professional standards set by the Bar Council of India (BCI) and holds recognition from the University Grants Commission (UGC) as well as accreditation from the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC).

The flagship program of the institution is the three-year LL.B. degree, open to graduates from any stream. The college enforces a professional dress code and a disciplined academic environment, preparing students effectively for future roles in the legal and judicial systems.

A.M.P. Law College is equipped with modern infrastructure, including a well-stocked library, technologically supported lecture halls, moot courtroom, auditorium, sports facilities, and computer lab. In 2012, the college launched a Legal Aid Centre in collaboration with the district judiciary, providing students hands-on experience in extending legal assistance to underprivileged individuals.

Over the years, the college has produced a distinguished cadre of alumni who have gone on to serve as judges, vice-chancellors, political leaders, administrators, and legal experts — firmly establishing AMP Law College as a cornerstone of legal education in Gujarat.

Symbol of Justice

College Emblem

⚖️

न्यायस्तत्र प्रमाण स्यात्

(न्यायसूत्र)

Where there is justice, there should be valid evidence

— From Nyaya Sutras

Symbol of Lady Justice

The emblem features two elements — an image of Lady Justice and a motto. The statue of Lady Justice symbolizes that justice is aware of societal complexities and not blind to individual circumstances, ensuring justice is delivered with full knowledge.

The Indian Constitution highlights that justice is rooted in constitutional principles and fairness rather than punishment. The statue wears a saree reflecting Indian traditions and cultural identity. The scales in her hand symbolize the continued impartial weighing of evidence and consideration of both sides of a case.

The Sanskrit phrase न्यायस्तत्र प्रमाण स्यात् (Nyayastatra praman syat) aligns with the ethos of a law college. Deeply rooted in the Indian philosophical tradition, particularly the Nyaya School, this nyayasutra underscores the inseparable link between justice (Nyaya) and evidence (Praman). The Nyaya Sutras attributed to Gautama outline a rigorous methodology for determining truth through logical analysis — emphasizing that justice is not arbitrary but must be rooted in credible evidence.
