GETMAN * Professor of Law Indiana University T HE legal profession in India has a proud heritage. In the earliest days of the independence movement and during the creation of the Indian Constitution, lawyers played a prominent role among those seeking social progress. But in recent years pride in the heritage has given way to concern about the present and alarm for the future by responsible officials. There has been a growing concern that Indian lawyers are not now playing a positive role in India's development. Rather, when in private practice, they are acting in the main as technical assistants to parties interested in manipulating or avoiding the impact of existing laws and legislation.

Enough time has passed, however, to note a trend: public service goals for clinical programs are being pressed as such less often and with less intensity. 2 This movement away from public service as a major, let alone dominant, goal for clinical legal education may be a natural and inevi- table byproduct of increased integration of clinical programs into the traditional law school curriculum and regularization of the status of clinical faculty.

  • LEGAL EDUCATION in INDIA Ajay Ranga Assistant
    Reviews of Literature Impact Factor : 1.4716 (UIF) Volume 2 , Issue 3 / Oct 2014 ISSN:-2347-2723 _____________________________________________________________________________________________ LEGAL EDUCATION IN INDIA Ajay Ranga Assistant Professor (Law), University Institute of Legal Studies, Panjab University, Chandigarh. Abstract: In a modern, civilized, democratic and political state like India, it is the law of the laws – the Constitution of India – which has conferred freedom on us and the right to live with human dignity and conscience. The constitution’s widespread and deeply pervasive network of laws leaves hardly any human activity outside its net which is not governed by some law or the other. Birth, death and marriage have to be registered. There are laws on how to move or drive on the road, how to travel, where to smoke or not to smoke, what to eat and what not to eat, where to go and where to refrain from going and so on. The air that we breathe, the water that we drink, the food that we eat, and the house in which we live are all governed by law. From a little child purchasing an eraser or a pencil, to an adult travelling by air within or outside the country – all are subject to the law. Law determines the boundaries of human behaviour which determines the limits of transgression as well as compliance. Everyone is supposed to know the law and the ignorance of law do not excuse anyone (Chandra, 2008). Key words: Legal Education , modern, civilized, democratic and political. INTRODUCTION Legal education is the education gained by individuals to become legal professionals or practitioners.

  • THE PARADOX of ELITE LAW SCHOOLS in INDIA—A COMPARISON with CANADIAN LEGAL EDUCATION Upasana Dasgupta*
    THE PARADOX OF ELITE LAW SCHOOLS IN INDIA—A COMPARISON WITH CANADIAN LEGAL EDUCATION Upasana Dasgupta* Legal education, like law, should always be overhauled and refitted to changes in society. What is sought is a model of legal education that best meets the needs of the society, by law students and law professionals alike. In 1987, a new model of law school was established in Bengaluru, India—the National Law School of India University (NLSIU)—drawing largely upon components of the Socratic method and the case-study method that had already been implemented, tried and tested in North America. This paper is a comparison of legal education in North America, particularly in Canada, and in the National Law Universities (NLUs) in India, based on the model of NLSIU. The comparison identifies similarities and dissimilarities between legal education of two countries, India and Canada, one developed and one developing, both of which imbibed the Harvard case method at some point in time. The object of the study is to point out the paradoxes existing in legal education in general and the NLU system in India and is a preliminary study of whether Canadian law schools and NLU systems can learn lessons from each other.
