The Act states that Bar Council of India has created a charitable trust called Bar Council of India Trust, which was later registered as a society termed National Law School of India Society.
The Society framed necessary rules to manage the National Law School of India with powers to confer degrees and diploma. Later, the council requested the state government to assist it, by establishing the school as a university.
