Soaring costs of legal education
The Daily Guardian|December 02, 2024
Around the world, law schools serve as the gatekeepers for the legal profession. One of the things contributing to the problem in legal education is the skyrocketing cost of tuition at law schools in several nations, including India.

As a fundamental component of the social structure, a country's legal system reflects the political, cultural, social, and economic aspects of its society. "Law is what the lawyers are, and the law and lawyers are what the law schools make them," is a concise way to describe how legal education contributes to the development of the legal system.

Do a select few who can afford it have the luxury of receiving legal education from nationally renowned institutions? As much as feasible, the study of law should be encouraged without unjustified interference.

Unfortunately, not everyone has access to high-quality legal education in India's law schools. Law schools worldwide have surmised that reform is necessary in the field of legal education due to the crises caused by the skyrocketing cost of legal education and the deteriorating employment prospects.

NATIONAL LAW SCHOOLS AND FINANCIAL RESTRAINT

Through the National Law School of India University Act, the state of Karnataka created the first NLU, NLSIU. Given the NLU model's success, numerous additional NLUs have been founded, bringing the total number of NLUs in India to 26. The goal of the NLU model is to provide a legal education framework that is thought to be adequate for developing professionals who can adapt to the changing needs of the legal industry both domestically and abroad.
