Very true.

Just as ICAI and ICSI take full care and control of everything (setting accounting standards, secretarial practice standards, memberships, exams, qualifications, disqualifications, post-qualification sessions, etc, similarly, BCI should also have full autonomy in administering its work.

Every profession has its issues, but HRD just cant fly in where ever it wants.

There is BCI in existence, HRD should follow up the issues with BCI, rather than taking everything under its umbrella.

I guess, if not ministry of HRD then Ministry of Law and Justice should seriously think about it. With no offence to any one, the status and diligence of the members of BCI is extremely deplorable. It is time to stagger in and ensure what is best for us should be suvserved. I am sure, this move would prove to be an effective one.

While opposing the foreign university bill we have to take into consideration the present state of India Legal Education in India, apart from national law schools and few Law colleges in various states, the situation of most of the Law Colleges are in a dismal state. Majority of the teaching staff in these colleges have never visited a Court in their life and soon after completing their academic courses they are recruited directly without any court experience. It is shocking to know that there are Law Colleges where the student doesn’t even have to attend the classes to appear for in their examination. If India is gearing up to be a leading economy it has to improve the training imparted to its Lawyers and this can be achieved only when world class Legal Education is imparted to deserving students in India. In US legal education is considered to be a bastion of brilliant and hard working students who are willing to dole out best effort and employ quality time to acquire a Law Degree. In India in most of the state run Law Colleges are a refuge for people who are cast away during their pursuit for other streams of educations and it is a real hazard for promising students to attend some of the state run Law Colleges in India. This scenario has to change and Law Student should feel responsible and committed to his education for which style of imparting legal education should be revamped and re invented.
