Behind the birth of every institution there appears to be a few dedicated persons who came forward to do spade works and took pleasure in doing a noble work. Establishment of Golaghat Law College is also not an exception to this rule. Some young graduates of Golaghat intended to prosecute higher study in law, but their aspirations could not be fulfilled because there was only law collage at Jorhat town at a distance of 30 (thirty) miles from Golaghat. Moreover, as the law classes were held in the evening, students from Golaghat could not attend classes unless they stay at Jorhat for this purpose. For this reason hopes of becoming law graduates of many youths of Golaghat before 1979 to establish a law college at Golaghat, their efforts ended in fiasco on the ground that Golaghat at that time was a sub-division of Sivsagar District. On the other hand a law college was permitted to be established in a District headquarter only according to rule of the University. So the question of establishing a law college at Golaghat had to be deferred till the date Golaghat sub-division becomes a district.
