The Graduate School of Law Of NIDA
The Graduate Law School of the National Institute of Development Administration (NIDA)
About us
The National Institute of Development Administration (NIDA) was established following His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej’s grace and profound vision of enhancing Thailand’s knowledge creation in development administration through the establishment of an advanced educational institution to produce graduates to become agents of change for national development. In order for NIDA to offer all academic disciplines necessary for the dynamic needs of the society, Professor Boonchana Autthakorn, the first NIDA President, stated, “To complete the Development Administration discipline, the Laws should be also included”.
The Graduate School of Law was then established on December 3, 2009 (B.E. 2552) by the support of Professor Dr. Sombat Thamrongthanyawong, the NIDA President at that time, who appointed Professor. Dr. Banjerd Singkaneti as the first Dean of the School.
The Graduate School of Law has a strong determination to strive for academic excellence in law for the development of a just society. In doing so, it provides legal knowledge and produces legal personnel with conscious mind and social responsibility who have expertise, morality, ethics, and integrity toward themselves and the people. In addition to legal education, the Graduate School of Law established "the Law Center for Development" on May 14, 2013 in response to the mission of providing academic services and social responsibility in the form of a legal clinic. Its services include free legal knowledge and advice to the general public, both in-house and on-the-go in various community-based locations.
This is regarded as the proactive mission of the Graduate School of Law in serving the society. On top of that, such mission helps developing the students’ knowledge, morality, and ethics necessary for becoming socially responsible lawyers/legal professionals.
