“All women are created equal, but only the finest become lawyers.” – Anonymous “Women belong in all places where decisions are being made. It shouldn’t be that women are the exception.” – Ruth Bader Ginsburg It is with immense pride and purpose that I pen down my vision for the School of Law, Dhanalakshmi Srinivasan University, Perambalur — an exclusive Law School for women, dedicated to shaping leaders, reformers, and professionals for a just society. This institution stands as a beacon of legal empowerment for women, offering more than just education. It nurtures confidence, justice, and leadership. The School of Law not only imparts legal knowledge but also instills in every student the courage to question, challenge, and create impact. The journey of this academic excellence and empowerment began with the visionary efforts of our beloved Founder, Chancellor Sri. A. Srinivasan (affectionately called “Ayya”). His divine dedication to women’s advancement has laid a strong foundation to help them rise, compete, and contribute meaningfully to society and global challenges. As the Dean of this pioneering School, I am committed to carrying forward this vision by fostering a dynamic legal learning environment — where each young woman is encouraged to become not just a lawyer, but a changemaker.
