3. Introduction to Legal Education
Legal education is the education of individuals in the
principles, practices, and theory of law. It may be
undertaken for several reasons, including to provide
the knowledge and skills necessary for admission to
legal practice in a particular jurisdiction, to provide a
greater breadth of knowledge to those working in
other professions such as politics or business, to
provide current lawyers with advanced training or
greater specialization, or to update lawyers on recent
developments in the law.

4. Legal education can take the form of a variety of programs,
including:
• Primary degrees in law, which may be studied at either
undergraduate or graduate level depending on the country.
• Advanced academic degrees in law, such as masters and
doctoral degrees.
• Practice or training courses, which prospective lawyers are
required to pass in some countries before they may enter
practice.
• Applied or specialised law accreditation, which are less formal
than degree programs but which provide specialised
certification in particular areas.
• Continuing legal education, which do not lead to a
qualification but provide practicing lawyers with updates on
recent legal developments.

5. Legal Education In India
The Bar Council of India prescribes and supervises standard of
legal education in India. Law degrees in India are granted and
conferred in terms of the Advocates Act, 1961, which is a law
passed by the Parliament both on the aspect of legal education
and also regulation of conduct of legal profession. Various
regional universities or specialized national law universities offer
Law graduate degrees through various law schools.
In India law can be studied, as LL.B. (Bachelor of Laws) or B.L.
(Bachelor of Law), a three-year graduate degree after completion
of Bachelor's degree. Alternatively after standard 12 one can join
an integrated five-year law course which provides option to avail
B.A. LL.B. or B.B.A. LLB. or B.Sc. LL.B. In India applied legal
education for specific branches of law is also offered such as,
Business law, Human resource and Labor laws, Property laws,
Family laws, Human rights & Legal awareness, Taxation law and
many more.

6. Teaching of Law & its scope
• India today breeds the largest number of legal professionals in the world.
According to reports, about half a million law students pass out from
various colleges in India.
• Law is vast and it touches all of us in some way or the other, law is not
just about the intensity or the money or the status, it more than that. The
Indian legal market is in a nascent stage in terms of growth. A law student
with all desired skills, inherent interests has a wide range legal professional
opportunities available these days.
• In the given level of economic development and globalisation, the factors
and future direction of legal education in India is immense. This profession
has grown over a short span of less than 50 years to become one of the
world's largest and most influential governance of the country.

7. •Amidst mediocrity, the legal world has changed and opportunities for
trained persons has grown phenomenally. With all this development, still,
law as a career is kind of a defamed one. Legal education in India is
completely different from what it was 10 years ago.
•All credits to the upcoming National Law Universities in various states.
Practicing in court is not the only option left after completing law course.
The most advantageous aspect of this field is that it is not restricted to a
specific background of a student. Students from any background can
prepare for the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) which is a entrance
test into the National Law Universities across the country. Admissions into
a good law college, students will be competing with people from different
backgrounds. To hone the skills of a successful lawyer, continued self-
education is indispensable in emerging areas of practice.

8. Various Career Option
• A practicing advocate: This is the most conventional route after law
education. Indian courts leave very less scope for the first generation lawyers.
It is always suggested for lawyers in heredity to opt for court practice.
• Corporate Counselors: With the growing craze for corporate firms, this
offers a new career option for working as corporate counsels with law firms.
These firms pay huge amounts to fight their legal cases. This industry also
specializes into various fields, thus offering a lot of scope for graduating
lawyers.
•Civil Services or Judicial Services: Those students who are hard working
can see themselves as future civil servants in the country, as pattern of
studying law is similar to the Civil Services exam pattern. Thus, law students
always have an edge as compared to the students from other fields.

9. Law Programmes in India

education in India.

have to be done before the entry in the court activities and practice.

in various academic levels.

Council of India) is the main regulatory body of Law education.

12. Best Practices to Teach
1. Teacher Clarity: When a teacher begins a new unit of study or project
with students, she clarifies the purpose and learning goals, and provides
explicit criteria on how students can be successful. It's ideal to also
present models or examples to students so they can see what the end
product looks like.
2. Classroom Discussion: Teachers need to frequently step offstage and
facilitate entire class discussion. This allows students to learn from each
other. It's also a great opportunity for teachers to formatively assess
(through observation) how well students are grasping new content and
concepts.
3. 3. Feedback: How do learners know they are moving forward without
steady, consistent feedback? They often won't. Along with individual
feedback (written or verbal), teachers need to provide whole-group
feedback on patterns they see in the collective class' growth and areas
of need. Students also need to be given opportunities to provide
feedback to the teacher so that she can adjust the learning process,
materials, and instruction accordingly.

13. 4. Formative Assessments: In order to provide students with effective and
accurate feedback, teachers need to assess frequently and routinely where
students are in relation to the unit of study's learning goals or end product
(summative assessment). Hattie recommends that teachers spend the same
amount of time on formative evaluation as they do on summative assessment.
5. Metacognitive Strategies: Students are given opportunities to plan and
organize, monitor their own work, direct their own learning, and to self-reflect
along the way. When we provide students with time and space to be aware of
their own knowledge and their own thinking, student ownership increases. And
research shows that metacognition can be taught.
