On 28 October 2002, the university's present-daypermanent campus was inaugurated by the then Chief Justiceof India, B. N. Kirpal. The NUJS, Kolkata, along with theGNLU and NLSIU, Bengaluru, remains the only NationalLaw School which has the Honorable Chief Justice of India asthe Chancellor. This set-up provides an aura of exclusivity andrare stature to these National Law Schools in India.

Currently Prof. (Dr.)Nirmal Kanti Chakrabarti is the Vice Chancellor of theUniversity.

One of the convincing ways to respond to the ever-evolvingcriminal justice system is through devising effective publicpolicy tools in conjunction with the objectives of the state.Once public policy tools are crafted, in consonance with thetheoretical frameworks, facts and figures governing thechanging nature of crimes and punishment, a dynamiccriminal justice system is supposed to emerge. The society’swill, thus, gets reshaped into a policy document through anexecutive action. This policy will then be converted into laws,which are implemented by the executive. These laws willundergo various interpretations and will eventually lead to anoverhaul of the earlier laws, effected through a renewed publicpolicy document. Criminal law, criminology and victimologyare, therefore, intricately related; every criminal law is, afterall, an extension of a state’s urge to promote certain policies(governing crimes and punishment) that the society recognizesand endorses. In the Indian perspective, criminology andvictimology experts always try to heed to the changingdynamics of the criminal law system. Various policyrecommendations regarding prison reforms, criminalprocedure, due process, etc., are made in light of importantdevelopments and court decisions in the field of criminal law.Keeping in view the inseparable relationship betweenCriminal law, Criminology and Victimology, the Centre(CCLCV) has been set up to enhance our understandingtowards criminalogy and victimology.
