Legal Education In India Rejuvenated

Legal education in India is passing through a transformation age. From mere academic nature of the education, Indian educational system is making a shift towards professionals, vocational and practical nature of education. This is a good sign as mere academic nature of education would not help us in the long run.

This is also evident from the fact that a majority of graduates are not fit for professional purposes. Naturally Indian companies are facing shortage of skilled workforce to manage skilled works. Thus, technical education and skill development in India need to be considered by Indian government on a top priority basis.

This is a mammoth task that Indian government cannot achieve on its own. Bar council of India has to play a pro active role in this regard. Similarly, a public private partnership between Indian government, BCI and private companies/individuals is also need of the hour.

However, there are very few private players who are good at providing qualitative legal education in India and abroad. Perry4Law Techno Legal Base (PTLB) of Perry4Law is one such techno legal institution that is providing world class techno legal education, courses, trainings and skills development. Perry4Law Techno Legal ICT Training Centre (PTLITC) provides highly specialised and domain specific techno legal education in India.

PTLB is also managing the exclusive techno legal institute for lifelong learning in India (TLILLI). The TLILLI manages many crucial techno legal lifelong learning courses and continuing legal education in India.

All these courses, education, training and skills development are provided by the PTLB e-learning platform in an online environment. Interested professionals can enroll for these courses from any part of the world without leaving their offices or homes.

Clearly legal education in India has been rejuvenated by the collective efforts of stakeholders like BCI, PTLB and Indian government. However, more and more private participation is needed for reforming the legal education sector of India that is presently plagued by widespread corruption.

Legal Training In India

The importance of legal training and legal education in India has been ignored for long in India. After finishing the basic level graduation in law, a dominant majority of the lawyers never ever update themselves and engage in training. Even lesser are lawyers who believe in legal lifelong learning in India.

Even at the level of Bar Council of India (BCI) and Ministry of Law and Justice, sufficient attention has not been given to lifelong learning or continuing legal education in India (CLE in India).

Law is a dynamic profession that is regularly updated and if lawyers and judges do not keep themselves updated, they may not perform their duties very well. Law is also a challenging profession that requires great dedication and hard work. At times it becomes next to impossible to leave the litigation practice and engage in some sort of higher education or other trainings.

At this stage, the utility of online legal education in India becomes apparent. In India, Perry4Law Techno Legal Base (PTLB) is the leading techno legal online education and training provider. Its online legal training and education platforms are world renowned.

Further, PTLB is also the exclusive techno legal education and training provider of India that is catering the requirements of police force, lawyers, judges, corporate executives, government officers, etc. Some of the unique areas in which PTLB has world renowned domain specific expertise include cyber law, cyber security, cyber forensics, digital evidencing, online dispute resolution, e-courts, etc.

With BCI and Law Ministry taking note of the growing requirements of legal education reforms and legal training requirements, the future legal fraternity may be more interested in legal trainings and legal lifelong learning.
