The logo of National Law University Delhi, meaning “There Shall Justice Prevail”, is composed of three elements — n (N), L (L) and U (U) — interlinked by the second L. In its totality it represents the harmonious confluence of different disciplines and levels, a role that Law and its executive, the judicial system, also performs. The ‘N’ and ‘U’ face downward and upward, symbolising polar and complementary outlooks through which Law threads its way. The extension of ‘L’ beneath the layer encapsulates the concerns of equality and social justice, with emphasis on the Rule of Law in promoting social justice for the most vulnerable. Its columnar arrangement suggests the upholding of justice, equality, fraternity and human rights in all their facets.
