The Supreme Court will hear a PIL in April seeking a Legal Education Commission to reform India’s law curriculum. The petitioner proposed a four-year LL.B after Class 12, citing the current five-year course lacks practical training and fails to attract top talent. The CJI emphasized including jurists, academicians, and policymakers in the review.
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to hear in April a PIL seeking the establishment of a Legal Education Commission to reform the legal education system and provide for a four-year LL.B instead of five-year course after Class 12.
A bench comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi took note of the submissions made by advocate and PIL petitioner Ashwini Upadhyay, who sought the constitution of a commission of eminent jurists to review and frame the syllabus for legal studies in India.
Upadhyay, in a PIL filed through lawyer Ashwani Dubey, said that in several countries LL.B course after Class 12 is four years and here, it spans for five years sans practical knowledge.
Upadhyay said the commission should comprise leading jurists and experts who could review the existing framework of legal education and design a more effective curriculum.
