Competition law and it law should be made compulsory .
Category 2: For careers in law firms, companies AND ALSO certain NGOs and academia.
So category 2 is obviously better.
ADR and Trade law are already compulsory subjects here. I would suggest adding IT law (This should take care of privacy and other cyber security laws), Competition law is also taught as part of Corp II so that's covered as well, we can add capital markets maybe
Most of you, my juniors at the now various national law schools, would follow in the footsteps of my colleagues from the early cohorts of what continues to be now rather erroneously referred to as 'the' law school. You shall join the law firms and never again be left wanting to almost anything. You shall not care for the majority of India and its many struggling bodies. Therefore, maybe give 40 to 60 hours of your life to establish at least the very basic understanding of them and the noble profession you are about join.
