The emblem of A.M.P. Government Law College, Rajkot, features two elements: an image of Lady Justice and a motto.
The statue of Lady Justice symbolizes that justice is aware of societal complexities and not blind to individual circumstances, ensuring justice is delivered with full knowledge. The Indian Constitution, highlights that justice is rooted in constitutional principles and fairness rather than punishment. The statue wears a saree reflecting Indian traditions and cultural identity. The scales in her hand symbolize the continued impartial weighing of evidence and consideration of both sides of a case.
( न्यायसूत्र )
( Where there is justice , there should be valid evidence )
( From Nyaya Sutras )
The Sanskrit phrase न्यायस्तत्र प्रमाण स्यात् ( Nyayastatra praman syat ) aligns well with the ethos of a law college. Deeply rooted in the Indian philosophical tradition , particularly the Nyaya School, this nyaysutra underscores the inseparable link between justice ( Nyaya ) and evidence ( Praman ). The Nyaya Sutras attributed to Gautama outline a rigorous methodology for determining truth through logical analysis and valid sources of knowledge (pramanas). This interpretation emphasizes that justice is not arbitrary but must be rooted in credible evidence.
Teaching staff include regular faculty and visiting faculty.
VISITING FACULTY
Qualified visiting faculty members are invited by the college as and when required, in line with Gujarat Government regulations.
