Supreme Court Calls for Expert Body to Review Legal Education Curriculum and Duration
The Supreme Court has called for the establishment of an expert body to review legal education, including the curriculum and duration of law courses. Hearing a plea by advocate Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay, the court noted the importance of reforming LLB and LLM programmes, highlighting concerns over the five-year integrated courses' length and financial burden on students. The petition urges the Centre to form a commission of experts to recommend changes, aligning with the National Education Policy 2020's emphasis on four-year undergraduate programmes.
