SVKMs PGCL Mumbai:
Conference on RE-INVENTING LEGAL EDUCATION IN INDIA ; 23rd March 2019
Pravin Gandhi College of Law, Mumbai
The model of legal education in India is oriented to the requirements of the litigating lawyer and judiciary making advocacy skills and sound theoretical knowledge the main areas of focus. Institutions imparting legal education have been experimenting with curriculum and teaching methods with the objective of bridging the gap between classroom teaching and legal employability without diluting the standards of legal education. Bar–bench–academia linkage, clinical and experiential legal education, industry–academia partnerships, community partnerships and outreach programmes are some of the bridging responses limited to addressing certain facets of the multifocal problem. The reforms in legal education have been oriented towards transforming general legal education into a professional suited to the current market demands
