Pathak, then Vice-Chancellor of Panjab University, Chandigarh took keen interest and fulfilled the long outstanding demand of the residents of Ludhiana and set up the Panjab University Regional Centre at Ludhiana. The Institute was formally inaugurated by His Excellency the Governor of Punjab, Justice O.P. Verma on 5th Oct. 2003. A number of new initiatives are being undertaken under the dynamic leadership of Prof. Raj Kumar, present Vice Chancellor of Panjab University, Chandigarh. With a vision to provide quality education to students, to enable them to excel in the legal sphere, University Institute of Laws (UIL), has made its presence felt in the legal world ever since its inception in July' 2003. Since then, everyone is working hard to realize this vision by imparting not just learning, but value and ethics based integrated learning, since moral values can't be taught, they have to be caught. UIL has fulfilled a long cherished dream of having a Centre of Excellence in Legal Education in the Manchester of State of Punjab (Ludhiana) through Late Lala Lajpat Rai, Member of Rajya Sabha. Presently the institution imparts legal education through three courses, LL.M 2 year, LL.B 3 year and B.A. LL.B (Hons.) 5 year integrated course. The UIL have been established to serve as the pre-requisite of universalization of education in general and legal education in particular. On the whole, the objective of UIL is to equip the learners with the skills of eminent advocates, professionals and academicians. The future belongs to UIL because we believe in the beauty of our dreams
