"The Mar Gregorios College of Law, Trivandrum seeks to groom future lawyers who will imbibe, interpret and improve the laws of our land and the wider world outside. They will grow in graceful allegiance to the Constitution of India, acquiring legal acumen and professional ethics, picking up the protocols of international law but above all dedicating themselves to Truth and the Pursuit of Justice.
Laws change from time to time and land to land but Justice is for all times and all humanity. The college perpetuates the revered memory of a spiritual luminary, who led the Malankara Syrian Catholic Church for four decades. Archbishop Benedict Mar Gregorios spent a lifetime addressing the spiritual and material needs of human society much beyond his pastoral flock. Today, many in our part of the world thirst for justice- legal and social. Mother Nature too pleads silently for clemency.
The young men and women who study in this new institution in the Mar Ivanios Vidya Nagar will master the traditional and modern facets of jurisprudence. They will benefit from the guidance of an excellent faculty and the support of the finest academic amenities in preparing for a noble profession. The Holy Bible says: Righteousness is immortal (wisdom 1/15) and that is the motto of Mar Gregorios College of Law. Our fervent hope and prayer is that even as they knit personal dreams about an enriching legal career, they will also be committed to the service of mankind.
The Mar Gregorios College of Law established by the Malankara Catholic Educational Society is envisioned as a centre of excellence in legal education.The college of law has been named Mar Gregorios College of Law as a memorial of Archbishop Benedict Mar Gregorios who was destined to guide the destiny of the Malankara Catholic Church for more than four decades.
Besides being a spiritual leader Archbishop Benedict Mar Gregorios was a great linguist, an economist, an educationalist par excellence and above all, a profound humanist who personified love and compassion for all. It is, indeed, an honour and a privilege for this college of law to have been named after such a great and noble soul who embodied in himself all the verities of Dharma, The Law.
