Brief History
Law Centre-I is the oldest centre of the Faculty of Law, University of Delhi, having enjoyed 36 years of fruitful and productive existence. It came into being in 1970-71. During those times it was housed in an NDMC School, also known as Nagar Palika School, near the Paharganj Police Station. The evening session was, however held in North Campus only without the name of LC-I. Unofficially, it was popular as ELC, that is ‘Evening Law Centre’.
In the year 1994, the Centre was shifted from Mandir Marg to the North Campus, where it exists presently. For location, click the ‘Contact Us’ tab.
