Bar Examination Updates

The final year law students need not to worry anymore regarding their internships and employment opportunities. Further, they also need not to worry about the lack of time for preparation.

The matter is before the Supreme Court of India and it would be decided on 14-05-2010. Only thereafter the modalities and requirements of Bar Examinations in India can be truly and accurately ascertained. We would update the students from time to time in this regard.

Meanwhile those who are interested in techno-legal trainings from PTLB may visit our “Online Platform” and register for our courses.

Bar Examination In India: Some Reflections

By

Praveen Dalal

From August/September 2010 (Now Nov/Dec 2010) all fresh law graduates or those who have already graduated but not yet enrolled would be compulsorily required to pass a bar examination to be conducted by Bar Council of India (BCI). Perry4Law Techno-Legal Base (PTLB) and its Bar Examination Segment welcome this initiative of BCI as it would go a long way in bringing Judicial and Legal Reforms in India.

Having said that one cannot deny the difficulties and challenges that the BCI and others associated with the bar examination would face. On top of it are the fears and apprehensions of final year law graduates regarding the same. They have fears that their education at respective law school may not automatically empower them to clear the bar exams and they need some more time to exclusively prepare for the bar exam.

Here starts the real problem. If the bar examination is a sub standard one and is mere formality, it would fail to bring required legal reforms in India. On the other hand, if the exam is a real and effective one, the students must hone up their existing legal knowledge and acumen as the pattern of their study and exams at law colleges/schools may be different from that of bar exams.

I must confess that the burden is upon the BCI to tackle this arduous task effectively as well as graciously. On the one hand it has a greater responsibility towards the nation at large whereas on the other hand it must act as a guide and mentor for fresh law graduates. While the first task has been effectively taken up by the BCI the latter one, in my personal opinion, has been totally neglected by the BCI. Till now the BCI has not come up with a concrete plan regarding the bar exams. For instance, there is no information regarding the course contents, syllabus, dates of exam, authorities that would conduct the exams, suggested resources for preparation, institutions with whom it has tie ups, etc.

While PTLB and Bar Examination Segment of Perry4Law have taken a small but significant step in this direction yet the initiative must come from BCI itself. We have started an “Online Platform” where the registered students may have some guidance and insight regarding the course mentioned therein. This is a “Prototype” that may be adopted by BCI or the BCI may (if it thinks fit) rope us for their bar exams initiative.

Whatever the choice the BCI exercises, it has to keep in mind at least two things. Firstly, it has to arrange all the matters pertaining to bar exams precisely and efficiently. Secondly, it has to do this as soon as possible as the dissatisfaction and unrest among the final year students is increasing.

Perry4Law, PTLB and its other Segments wish all the best to the BCI and we have full faith in not only the intentions but also the potential of BCI to conduct bar exams effectively, efficiently and successfully.

Online Bar Entrance Training In India

Bar examinations have been made mandatory in India. Till now all that was needed to practice in a court of law was a law degree from a recognised university. To improve the quality of lawyers in India and to bring legal reforms in India, this proposal has been mooted out. It has the support of Supreme Court of India, Law Ministry of India,. Bar Council of India and many other stakeholders.

The first batch of bar examinations would start in the month of July/August/September 2010. Time is running very short for the serious applicants as they have to make it sure that they clear their examination or entrance.

Perry4Law Techno-Legal Base (PTLB) is a world renowned name in techno-legal field. Among various services, it also provides training and coaching to law students, lawyers and other professionals. The first batch of bar examination would be started by it very soon. Interested applicants must visit the Bar Examination Portal of PTLB and meet the specified conditions to get enrolled.

Seats are very limited and would be offered on first come first basis. Although, it is an online training and coaching course, arrangements can also be made for fact to face training and coaching if 50 or more applicants desire so.

Hurry get a seat before all are gone.

Training And Empanelment Of Lawyers In India By PTLB

Legal industry in India is in the process of transformation. With globalization legal industry in India is also trying to adapt itself with the contemporary international legal standards. However, there is an urgent need of training of lawyers and fresh law graduates to make them successful legal professionals.

India needs specialised training centre like PTLB to impart contemporary technology related legal training to lawyers and law graduates. After all legal practice in India is no more confined to traditional fields. Newer areas like cyber law, telecommunication laws, etc have also emerged. Most of the lawyers and law graduates are not aware about these laws and their practical applications.

The importance of training of lawyers and law graduates has also assumed importance due to the bar examinations requirement as well. As per this requirement no law graduate would be allowed to practice in India till he/she clears a bar examination.

Similarly, none can discount the importance of continuing legal education in India. Legal education, like any other education, is continuing and lifelong in nature. It has to be updated and upgraded regularly. Presently, India is not following a lifelong learning model for legal education.

Finally, there must also be a platform where qualified and knowledgeable lawyers, law graduates, company secretaries, chartered accountants, consultants, engineers, arbitrators, etc can empanel themselves. This way they may get an exposure to various new legal fields that are presently beyond their contemplation.

The law minister of India is doing good job for introducing legal and judicial reforms in India. The abovementioned suggestions may also be considered by him while formulating various legal reforms in India.
