History and Etymology
S.K.J. Law College, Muzaffarpur, was established in 1948 to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Bihar’s first Chief Minister, Dr. Sri Krishna Sinha. The idea of founding a law college in Muzaffarpur was initiated by Shri L.P. Shahi with the support of Shri Mahesh Prasad Sinha and other local leaders. Initially, classes were held in B.B. Collegiate School with honorary teaching by senior advocates of the region. The college received temporary affiliation from Patna University in 1948 and permanent affiliation in 1951 up to the B.L. (Honours) standard.
Babu Kishore Narayan, senior advocate and former Chairman of the Muzaffarpur District Board, became the first principal. In 1965, the institution acquired land at Gannipur, where a permanent campus was constructed. The college shifted to this site in 1969. Over the years, infrastructure expanded to include lecture halls, a library, an auditorium, a guest house, and staff quarters.
The college has been managed by a governing committee since inception, with leadership passing from Mahesh Prasad Sinha to L.P. Shahi and later to others. It celebrated its Golden Jubilee in 1998 under Dr. Nageshwar Sharma. In the 2000s, further development included new academic blocks, a girls’ hostel, and sponsorship of a proposed institute of technology in Muzaffarpur.[4]
