    Hearty Congrats to SJCL.
    The Law College of the Jesuits in Bangalore will be a Boost to our young generations .

    Devoid of Law and Order a Nation will collapse.

    A good Lawyer can win a bad case and a Bad lawyer loses the best case.
    But A lawyer from SJCL will be Most Fair and ensure Justice wins the day.

    We are proud that all four of us brothers passed out of St. Josephs' and my Dad graduated in the 1930's. Even my 2 daughters are proud Josephites. (Rather Josephines)

    Congratulations to Rev Fr Swebert D'Silva and the entire congregation of Jesuit priests for having a law college another feather in the cap. Priests and nuns have contributed their might in health, education and poverty alleviation to the masses.
    Fr Swebert D'Silva , son of legendary konkani poet late Mr Henry D'Silva of Udyavar, Udupi is a multifaceted personality. The best part of this family is their humility and God fearing life. On behalf of all the Udyavar parish laity and religious we congratulate Rev Fr and wish you all the best in your future endeavor.

    Congratulations and good luck, Fr. Swebert. As is the case with all the institutions founded by the Jesuits, here's wishing SJCL and its students, unparalleled success at the highest level , in the field of jurisprudence.

    May they be a beacon light in the present day world, which badly requires legal practitioners who are not only highly capable, but also possessing the highest level of integrity.

    Fr. Swibert D'Silva,
    Congratulations on this new Jesuit venture in South Asia in the field of Law. All the best to you Fr. Swibert. As an alumnus of SAC [of the 1940's - yes, 70 years this year!]where you had served for several years, I wish you all success in your new role.
    I note that SJCL operates on Residency Road, in the heart of the city. It is likely that I will be visiting Bangalore in mid-December and, if everything goes as planned, I would like to pay you and the SJCL a visit if it is not too inconvenient for you.

    What a joy to learn that the Jesuits have decided to open a Law College in Bangalore, which is the first of its kind in South Asia. India is growing far and beyond, and while the Education of so many disciplines is becoming a major focus, it is fascinating to feel that the Jesuits have finally decided to open a Law College in Bangalore - our Silicone Valley in India.

    In an ever-growing country such as India where the Industry is growing and so also the Economy is expanding, it is very essential to attach equal importance in the discipline of Law because it is the legal function of life that will straighten our daily discipline of life. Law enables people to remain faithful and determined because there is no single source in India that is above the element of Law.

    In order to maintain the Constitution of India and protect the rights and privileges of each and every Citizen in a country such as India where we have more than twenty languages in a country where we have twentysix States, LAW is a single most important sector that will help people to follow the Rules and Regulattions of the country and help all our Leaders as well as all our Citizens to follow the basic parameters of Law and maintain our daily pattern of life.

    America is a country that can boast as a Super Power of the world where our Annual Budget is so large and our per capita income is so much as compared to so many Nations of the World, there is no way the smoothness of the country that can be witnessed without the Umbrella of Law. The Law College of the Jesuits in Bangalore will be of tremendous help for our young generation to follow the pathway of discipline as prescribed by the Law of the Nation.

    Let our young men and women learn to become Lawyers, and let there be greater discipline and order in a country where we produce each year more than 15 million new babies each that will produce a new generation every ten years. Without Law and Order we will be a Nation that will remain behind.
