Our prestigious law school has been acknowledged as a research institute .On 7/11/2013 the meeting of the Academy Council, University of Kerala has given us the status of Research Centre. From now onwards the college can grant post doctoral degrees. This decision by the Council is a revolution and a kind of coup 

d’état. The college even after having a history of more than 135 years was denied he status of research centre for the past 30 years. Decision of the Council has been unanimous and it shows the courage and vigor of all the members, hats off to them. While the decision of the council was welcomed by Academicians 

and students the question as to why the college was denied the status hitherto remains unanswered. Along with this decision the Academy Council has also proposed to the Board of Studies to recommend measures to reduce the duration of the LL.M course to one year.
