Justice Fatehdeep Singh While speaking said that the concept of legal education in India goes back to the Vedic age when it was essentially<\/p>\n
based on the concept of Dharma. The Kings either used to dispense justice themselves or appoint Judges and Assessors to administer justice.<\/p>\n
In year 1857, first step was taken to impart formal legal education in the country by setting up three universities, in Calcutta, Madras and<\/p>\n
Bombay.<\/p>\n
Justice Fatehdeep Singh further said that with the advancement of technology on the one hand there would be ease and reduction in pending<\/p>\n
court cases while on the other hand over use of technology is leading to the growth of cyber crime also.<\/p>\n
Justice Fatehdeep Singh further said that over the years, there has been a considerable degeneration of academic standards within law<\/p>\n
departments due to the challenges being faced by legal institutions including Physical infrastructure, financial resources, Need for developing<\/p>\n
philanthropic initiatives, Hiring good teachers & researchers etc. As a result, the ability to attract serious students with a passionate<\/p>\n
commitment to study law has always been a challenge across the country.<\/p>\n
Dr. Anmol Rattan Sidhu while speaking about the past said that before India attained independence in 1947, there were only a few law schools<\/p>\n
in the country. With the independence of the country, legal education acquired importance, as rule of law became a fundamental doctrine for the<\/p>\n
governance of the country. After democratic form of Government it became necessary that judicial system of the country should be brought in<\/p>\n
tune with social, economic and political needs of the society. Gradually legal education was introduced as a course of study in a number of<\/p>\n
States.<\/p>\n
H.C Arora while speaking about the present scenario said that the quality of legal education has a direct impact on the prestige of the legal<\/p>\n
profession and thus we should identify the areas of default and initiate corrective action to repair the damage.<\/p>\n
S. Ravinder Bassi speaking about the future of legal education said that Legal education must be given its status of a professional course of<\/p>\n
study and like any other professional course its standards must be regulated. The senior members of the Bar must suggest means for attracting<\/p>\n
the students to the profession.<\/p>\n
Dr. Anshu Kataria while speaking on the occasion said that in past few years legal education has become popular among the students. He<\/p>\n
further said that around 50,000 candidates appeared in CLAT -2017 against around 2342 seats in 18 National Universities of Law in India<\/p>\n
which shows the huge competition across the Country.<\/p>\n
