Legal Education in India has undergone a paradigm shift in the last two decades. The option to study Law is by choice rather than by chance, is the essence of this shift. It is not because of one but many factors. The effort of the legal fraternity to establish focused Universities of Law is the trigger. The Law Universities provide new choice of a career which not only empowers young minds to take up social causes but also the opportunities present in a growing globalized world. The success can be attributed to the intellectual contribution by the Judiciary and the Legal fraternity and the State Government for providing necessary infrastructure and financial support. The growth has the contribution of a new breed of faculty who are committed and multifaceted in their approach. Legal education is in for exciting times and yet faces major challenges: to measure up to the huge expectations of the younger generation, to design contemporary curriculum for preparing lawyers for emerging challenges, to solve existing challenges and to compete with international law schools. All these challenges are not insurmountable. What is required, is a clear vision and most importantly a belief that it could be achieved. Law school has two functions: It aims by the case method of instruction to train its students so that they may become successful practitioners in their chosen profession. It should also aim, though only few schools have recognized this obligation, to aid in improving the law by scientific and analytical study of existing laws, by comparative study of the jurisprudence of other countries, by criticism of defects and suggestion for improvement in the administration of law and in methods of legislation, and by relating law to other institutions of human society. It is the duty of a law school to emphasize through research and publication by its faculty and through the character of its instruction, this broader base of legal education, apart from imparting merely professional training. The key to that success is the young aspirant-YOU- who desire to join this University. The transformation of your mind with its limitless potential will make v vi MESSAGE this University a class of its own. The University is designed and will be constantly redesigned to address the social, political and economic needs. This University will aspire to do things differently than doing different things. It is possible only if -YOU- share the dream and passion to achieve it. It is not just YOU-but your parents and other family members who should be with you in this dream. Procuring an admission in this University is not the achievement but to sustain the goal, learn and unlearn in the journey, to practice the profession with highest ethical standards and to involve pro-actively in the issues facing the society, is the real achievement. The law programme is just a fuel to ignite the fire in YOU. The information society development demands to re-define the position and objectives of all the institutions which work with information, knowledge, and culture. The situation is changing. Libraries have been identified as one of the key elements for open access to information, which is crucial to democratic information society development. Libraries are catalysts for human progress as they aid the development and transmission of knowledge and culture, foster civic awareness in support of democracy, and provide the resources for the development of economic productivity and innovation in society. In fact, the state of a nation’s libraries is a major leading indicator of its future economic and human development. More specifically, libraries: (a) Make significant contributions to formal and informal education, including lifelong learning and various forms of literacy by providing facilities, resources and services designed to ensure access to relevant information in appropriate formats, language, content and contexts; (b) Ensure social inclusion and cohesion by providing access to information and knowledge to all women, men and children. This critical access when used by the disadvantaged - such as the poor, the elderly, the disabled, and the unemployed - form the foundation of poverty reduction, since information poverty is often the root cause of economic poverty; (c) Preserve and promote cultural heritage and diversity, and foster mutual understanding and respect among cultures and peoples; (d) Create citizen awareness and engender social values for democratic governance and traditions, by opening multiple windows to the world and its alternate possibilities through their collections, facilities and programmes; and (e) Harness information and knowledge for economic development through professional processing, storage and dissemination to stimulate innovation and human capacity for efficiency and productivity. Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh Vice-Chancellor, National Law University, Delhi Message True education releases capacities, develops analytical abilities, confidence in oneself, will-power and goal setting competencies, and instills the vision that will enable one to become self-motivating agent of social change, serving the best interests of the community. National Law University, Delhi, established by Act 1 of 2008 of National Capital Territory of Delhi and started functioning in the same year, the first of 80 students joined in August, 2008. NLUD shares the broader vision of providing quality legal education in order to produce new generation of lawyers that are competent and humane. The academic curriculum is designed to enable the budding lawyers to deal with equal ease, the legal system of the country as well as the legal systems of the world in order to meet the challenges facing the global society. The University ensures to endeavor to bridge the wide gap between the theory and practical application of concepts through a learning process which is simulative, participative and multi-disciplinary. NLUD will ignite and nurture the spirit of inquiry.

INTRODUCTION "Elusive abominations."' Among the countless opinions that wrestle with so-called "mixed questions of law and fact," one from the Court of Claims best summed up the problem with these two words. The Ninth Circuit was more direct, if less poetic, when it said that mixed question jurisprudence "lacks clarity and coherence."2 And as if to punctuate the point, Black's Law Dictionary offers a definition that is perfectly clear and perfectly circular: "A question depending for solution on questions of both law and fact, but is really a question3 of either law or fact to be decided by either judge or jury." * © 2005 Randall H.

    CHAPTER 4 PUBLIC DOMAIN INFORMATION RESOURCES Chap. 4—Public Domain Information Resources UNESCO Recommendation on Promotion and use of Multilingualism and Universal Access to Cyberspace provides the following definition: “Public domain information refers to publicly accessible information, the use of which does not infringe any legal right, or any obligation of confidentiality. It thus refers on the one hand to the realm of all works or objects of related rights, which can be exploited by everybody without any authorization, for instance because protection is not granted under national or international law, or because of the expiration of the term of protection. It refers on the other hand to public data and official information produced and voluntarily made available by governments or international organizations.1” 4.1 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES Parliamentary Debate is a recording of conversation of parliamentarians of a nation to discuss over agenda, proposed legislations and other developmental programmes. It is treated as primary legal literature and very useful for legal research scholars. While tracing the origin of legislation, it is quite useful to refer parliamentary debates of parliamentarians over the bill or proposed legislations.

The petitioners and interventionists, claiming to be public spirited persons, have sought a declaration that Supreme Court case proceedings of “constitutional importance having an impact on the public at large or a large number of people” should be live streamed in a manner that is easily accessible for public viewing. Further direction is sought to frame guidelines to enable the determination of exceptional cases that qualify for live streaming and to place those guidelines before the Full Court of this Court. To buttress these prayers, reliance has been placed on the dictum of a nine-Judge Bench of this Court in Naresh Shridhar Mirajkar and Ors. Vs. State of Maharashtra and Ors.,1 which has had an occasion to inter alia consider the arguments of journalists that they had a fundamental right to carry on their occupation under Article 19(1)(g) of the Constitution; that they also had a right to attend the proceedings in court under Article 19(1)(d); and that their right 1 (1966) 3 SCR 744 3 to freedom of speech and expression guaranteed under Article 19(1)(a) included their right to publish a faithful report of the proceedings which they had witnessed and heard in Court as journalists.

    Rethinking the Boundaries of the Sixth Amendment Right to Choice of Counsel

    RETHINKING THE BOUNDARIES OF THE SIXTH AMENDMENT RIGHT TO CHOICE OF COUNSEL I. INTRODUCTION Criminal defense is personal business. For this reason, the Consti- tution’s ample procedural protections for criminal defendants are writ- ten not just to provide a fair trial, but also to put the defendant in con- trol of his own defense. Courts and commentators alike have rec- ognized that the constitutional vision of liberty requires not only protection for the accused, but also the right of the accused to speak and act for himself.1 The Sixth Amendment also reflects the common understanding that the assistance of counsel can be crucial — even necessary — to effective defense,2 but its language and structure nev- ertheless make clear that the rights and their exercise belong to the de- fendant himself, not his lawyer.3 The right to the assistance of counsel has many facets, but its most ancient and fundamental element is the defendant’s right to counsel of his own choosing. Indeed, the Supreme Court has identified choice of counsel as “the root meaning of the constitutional guarantee.”4 Yet ac- tual choice-of-counsel doctrine gives the state broad authority to inter- fere with the exercise of this right. For example, a defendant may not choose an advocate whose representation creates a potential conflict of interest for the defendant, even if the defendant knowingly and intelli- gently waives any objection to the potential conflict,5 and a defendant has no right to be represented by an advocate who is not a current member of a state bar association.6 The remedy for a choice-of- ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 1 See, e.g., Faretta v.

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.
