These collaborations they range from shared blended learning and hybrid teaching (including module-sharing in courses), technology-enabled-resource sharing through library-to-library collaborations, joint webinars and conferences, joint research, LLB-JD and LLB-LLM pathways, and student and faculty exchange and mobility.

These international partnerships have been established as part of the Law School's COVID-19 Academic Action Plan, in addition to JGLS' pre-existing global partnerships with more than 250 leading institutions in the world.

Professor (Dr.) C. Raj Kumar, Dean of JGLS explained that: "The motivation behind establishing these partnerships is to provide outstanding opportunities for the students of JGLS to pursue international legal education with our partner institutions… We are committed to making sure that the COVID-19 global pandemic does not undermine our efforts to build international collaborations for the benefit of our students. Rather the School has exploited the potentialities of blended learning and hybrid education to help the students of JGLS to continue to yield the benefits of international collaborations through technological interface​."

Professor (Dr.) Sreejith S.G., Executive Dean, JGLS, pointed out, "The pandemic prompted us to reimagine our existing collaborations. Our partner institutions have responded very positively and constructively to our proposals, showing remarkable resilience. We are glad that the pandemic will not deprive our students of the opportunities internationalization has been providing them."
