NLU Delhi has announced that Senior Advocate Harish Salve has accepted its invitation to serve as a Distinguished Professor, an appointment that signals the University’s push to deepen practice-oriented legal education by bringing marquee practitioners into its classrooms and governance conversations.
Advocate Salve’s stature as both a former Solicitor General of India (1999–2002) and a King’s Counsel in England and Wales positions him to contribute not only high-level lectures but also mentorship and policy input on how the curriculum interfaces with contemporary litigation, arbitration, and cross-border practice.
Vice-Chancellor Prof. (Dr.) G.S. Bajpai underscored this by calling Salve’s association “highly inspirational” for students, researchers, and faculty, and indicating that, beyond teaching, he will help guide NLU Delhi’s academic vision on the legal profession and practice. The move follows NLU Delhi’s earlier appointment of former Chief Justice of India Dr. Justice D.Y. Chandrachud as a Distinguished Professor, suggesting a deliberate strategy to build a bench of eminent jurist-teachers whose experience can translate into clinics, advanced seminars, and experiential initiatives.
Together, these appointments are likely to enrich classroom discourse, strengthen research agendas, and expand opportunities for students to engage with complex, real-world legal problems at the highest levels.
