In a recent development, the Supreme Court of India has rejected a petition seeking to reduce the duration of the Bachelor of Laws (LLB) program from five years to three years. The petition was filed by a group of students who argued that the current five-year program is too long and financially burdensome, especially for women whose careers are often delayed due to societal pressures to marry.
Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud, heading the bench that dismissed the petition, expressed concerns about shortening the program, stating that law is a complex field that requires "mature people for advocacy" and that the five-year program provides students with a comprehensive education.
While acknowledging the Supreme Court's decision, the debate over the efficiency of legal education in India continues. Many believe that the current five-year program is outdated and could be streamlined to make it more accessible and affordable.
Key Points:
- Supreme Court rejects petition to shorten LLB program
- Chief Justice Chandrachud emphasizes the need for a comprehensive legal education
- Debate continues over the efficiency of legal education in India
