The Government Law College, also known as GLC and located in Mumbai, India, is the oldest and one of the most distinguished law schools in India. Though the institution was formally founded in 1855 with the establishment of the Perry Professorship of Jurisprudence, its origins lie in the earlier lectures of Sir Thomas Erskine Perry , then Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Bombay. The institution has played a prominent role in judicial, political, social life and historical background of India and is possibly the only college in India to have produced heads of all three arms of Government i.e President of India, Prime Minister of India and the Chief Justice of India. The college celebrated its sesquicentennial in 2006.
