I mugged up all those IAS GK pds, around 30 of those. Most tedious task ever
Suffice to say you can mostly skip GK and still get in NLSIU.
Asking questions based on rote learning about history or geography or economy may be useless to test aptitude for legal studies
However general awareness including legal awareness, world affairs, current affairs, etc shows a student's level of general intelligence and sense of knowing the world around them.
GK fosters well-rounded lawyers who can connect legal issues to broader contexts, be it environmental impact or sports contracts. Restricting it to "core legal" misses the real world where law interacts with diverse social, economic, and scientific dimensions.
