'''ILS Law College''', or in its full name '''Indian Law Society's Law College''', is a government-aided [[law school]] in [[Pune]], [[India]]. It was established in 1924 and offers courses that include three-year and five-year degrees. ILS is located on Law College Road, Pune. The college was aided by The [[Ford Foundation]].

== History ==
The Indian Law Society was established on 4 March 1923 as a Public Charitable Trust registered under the Societies Registration Act. The society established the [[eponym]]ous Law College with the objective of providing facilities for the study of law on a scientific basis with proper training.

The college was affiliated with the [[University of Bombay]], but with the founding of the [[University of Pune]] in 1949, the college became a constituent of the latter.

== Campus ==
The ILS campus is located at the centre of Law College Road between the FTII ([[Film and Television Institute of India|Film and Television Institute]]) and the Bhandarkar Research Institute. The Sarswati Building houses the library, the reading room, the administrative office, the conference hall and the Principal's office, besides the chambers of other faculty members and computer facilities for research students. The Lakshmi Building has eighteen halls for regular lectures, the legal aid centre and an auditorium with a capacity of 400 people, used for guest lectures, college functions and presentations.

Apart from the academic and administrative buildings, the College facilities are further enriched with a huge residential complex for male students; the newly constructed Ladies Hostel, a gymnasium, a cricket and football ground, a sports pavilion housing the indoor sports facilities, tennis courts and a swimming pool to maintain physical health.

Housed on a floor of the Sarswati building, the ILS library includes over 45,000 books and volumes of periodicals, journals and magazines. It subscribes to over 95 Indian and foreign journals each year, including the All England Reports, The American Journal of Comparative Law, and The Cambridge and Oxford Law Journals. It offers computer and photocopying facilities to its students as well as an online search catalog. The library has an inter-library loan network with other libraries in Pune.

==Academics==
=== Academic programmes ===
In addition to the five-year degree course and the three-year degree course (for graduates in any discipline), the college offers diplomas and distance-learning courses.

ILS is part of the [[European Union Law|EU Law]] Poros Programme, and students can apply for this diploma course. The best students from the programme get a chance to go on an exchange program to [[Greece]] for a semester of study there.

==Student life==
The college devotes attention to creating a Moot Court atmosphere; ILS has debating cells, cultural cells, a corporate cell, a center for public law, an alternate dispute resolution cell, Intellectual Property Rights Cell, International Law Cell, Hariyali cell etc.

The college has a legal aid programme involving final year students, and runs [[legal literacy]] programmes for lay people. For instance, in a project with the KEM Hospital research centre, a village is selected and students sent there to spread legal literacy. This project covers issues like human rights, gender and civil rights. Students also put on street plays to make citizens aware of legal issues.

In conjunction with the Rotary circuit, ILS students go to a legal centre four days a week. The centre gets clients through various NGOs active in Pune. The legal centre also has lawyers on hand to help people in need of counselling. However, the college advocates out-of-court settlements to lengthy litigation.
