The HPNLU, Shimla a newly established National Law University, was set up with the vision to provide affordable quality legal education to the students to make them capable, responsible citizens through a best in class quality education and strong value systems. It was established under section 3 of the Himachal Pradesh National University Act. Such is the level of the University that the Library at HPNLU within a short period of 3 months contained books, commentaries, reports, treatise, academic journals, proceedings, legislative and constitutional material, encyclopaedias and digests.
