Missing the Wood for the Trees: How Indian Legal Education Fails to Deliver the Professional Lawyer?

In this work, we compare the Indian and American legal education systems, to argue that the former lacks the toolkit to impart professionalism among its graduates. ‘Professionalism’ in American literature means the internalization of legal skills along with values of public service. The formation of these cognitive attributes through law school and formative years is known as ‘professional identity formation’. We refer to the American discourse of professionalism and argue that Indian legal education should switch to the American Bar Association output-based model, thereby creating a clear goal but flexible pathways, allowing for faculty-led innovation in courses, curricula and pedagogy. We also underline other aspects of Indian legal education like faculty shortages and barriers between academia and profession as causative factors preventing the growth of professionalism in law graduates, which may eventually disadvantage them in the global workplace. We call for reform and discourse of the basic attitudes of the Bar Council of India and the legal educators.

The National Education Policy (NEP) of 2020 and the Hybrid Learning Paradigm: Revising Strategies for An Evolving Legal Education Environment

A strong and resilient education system is vital for the progress and growth of any nation, as it equips individuals with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively address current and forthcoming issues, while also keeping pace with rapid technological breakthroughs. The National Education Policy, 2020 (NEP 2020) plays a significant role in creating a comprehensive framework for the transformation of the education sector. The hybrid approach of teaching and learning has the ability to integrate multiple viewpoints within legal education by combining in-person and online interactions, under the guidance of policy. Nevertheless, it is important to conduct a thorough examination of the pedagogical tactics and technology tools that augment the learning experience in legal education, in order to assess the efficacy of this approach in professional courses like law. Given the aforementioned environment, the primary objective of this study is to comprehensively examine the consequences of incorporating a hybrid method of learning in the field of legal education in India, specifically focusing on its policy implications and relevant issues. This study endeavours to examine the strengths and weaknesses of the paradigm, as well as the ongoing problems and limitations associated with it, in the context of legal education. Moreover, the primary objective of this article is to conduct a rigorous analysis of apparent gaps and inconsistencies that may necessitate additional explanation or refinement in order to effectively accomplish the targeted transformative goals. The paper seeks to provide a valuable contribution to the continuing discourse on educational reform and promote the successful implementation of the hybrid model in accordance with NEP 2020 for the purpose of delivering legal education in India, particularly in the context of the post-pandemic global landscape.

The Lifeworld of Law: Methodological Multiplicity in Legal Pedagogy

Multidisciplinary studies in the field of law in India in the last two decades or so have gained traction. The grudging acceptance of insights from social sciences into the technical discipline of law has expanded the horizon of its study. The presence of insights from other disciplines, however, has not predominantly altered the approach to legal education in India and they have at best remained alternate modes of legal analyses juxtaposed with a technical-doctrinal study of law. The methodological challenge is to think of ways to dovetail the insights to co-produce legal knowledge which is shared across disciplines. This paper is an attempt in that direction by bringing in a synthesis between the ‘external’ and the ‘internal’ perspectives, arguing in favour of interdisciplinarity as a pedagogical frame. The approach towards legal pedagogy is heuristic where methodical perspectives are not imparted but demonstrated. This paper undertakes this task in relation to how criminal law in India can be taught through a case study on the law of sedition—Section 124A of the Indian Penal Code, examining it from three different perspectives—the doctrinal, the instrumentalist and the constitutivist. The learnings from different vantage points and the exchange between them create lessons for legal pedagogy.

Making a Case for Teaching Caste and Gender in Law Schools

This article argues for mainstreaming of caste and gender as subject matter in legal education in India. Justice education in any country ought to introduce students to the main axis of oppression, historical patterns of discrimination in their society—in the United States, it is race and patriarchy; in India, it is caste patriarchy. The article connects the denial of justice in caste crimes to the invisibility of caste in the legal discourse and insists that legal education is the key to making caste and gender visible within the legal machinery. For this purpose, the article examines how critical race and feminist theory informed law school education in the United States. It also elucidates the efforts of making legal education inclusive and reflective through the national law schools experiment in India. Lastly, it suggests ways in which caste and gender can be included in law school curricula.

Teaching and research of International Law in an expanded world: understanding from the Indian perspective

The teaching and research of international law in India is affected in a manner, which is in many respects, occur different from that of the developed world. There exist salient differences in attitude, focus, approach, interpretation, and resources. The teaching of international law in India has been predominantly Eurocentric, with curriculum dominated by western narratives, and research which is largely detached from the relevant content. For a greater part of Indian legal education there has been a sense of lack of relatability, particularly in addressing local legal issues. This has impacted students, the discipline, and legal pedagogy alike. Furthermore, because of the complexity of Indian society engendered by its own internal contradictions, one finds interesting disparities of substance and methodology adopted for dispersing knowledge. This paper discusses teaching and research methods of international law in India with a background note that provides context within which the approach will be centered around. This will be followed by an attempt to justify the need for teaching and research of international law in India. The paper concludes with a suggestion that in view of severe social and economic limitations, subject of international law should really be given high priority.
