Agreed. BBA-LLB (H) is a superior and truly dual-discipline integrated UG program. If anyone says that there is no difference between BBA-LLB (H) and BA-LLB (H) is living in a fool's paradise, and the downvotes on this platform don't matter.
Just let the NLUs/university law depts decide their undergraduate courses in law. Make it a 4 year course. And then those interested to practice can undergo a separate 1-2 year course that is approved by the BCI and run by specialised institutions attached to specific NLU etc. Those who successfully complete this course will enter practice or sit for the AIBE.
This PIL is the reason why the duration should not be trimmed. The court cannot sit in judgement on how long a particular course should be. What's next? A petition for trimming BTech to 3years or allowing MBA after class 12?
Horrible idea- BA subjects and the five years are meant to provide students with experiences and opportunities that inform their choices after law school.
This is a slap on those to "advise" that there's no difference between BA-LLB (H) and BBA-LLB (H). This PIL makes it clear that the BA subjects taught are completely irrelevant, unconnected, and a hodge-podge. In contrast, the BBA is a coherent collection of subjects, and business management in and of itself is a professional discipline (like law). This makes BBA-LLB (H) a dual discipline program, while the BA-LLB (H) is single discipline plus the BA portion merely acting as a "filler".
Moving forward BA-LLB (H) will have to be phased out. The PIL also shows how regressive the current thinking in the NLUs is. NLS increases its intake for the BA-LLB (H) program. It could not even come up with something more innovative and futuristic. Needless to mention, those with a humanities background in Class 12 have a vested interest in favoring BA-LLB (H), but the trend is moving away from it.
Bro, you have just blown my mind. What do you think, a "child" would be able to understand CRPC, IPC, CPC??
- Those lawyers will be so immature to understand law, there is a purpose behind 5 year law, even if Jurisprudence is directly of no use but it gives you a maturity to understand law from various perspectives.
- What do you mean that BA has nothing to do with legal practice, not everybody wants to go for corporate or practice or core legal field, people may be want to try civil services or social Sciences. BALLB as a whole give you that liberty to explore in those 5 years.
- 3 year is a very less time to understand law, because it's too vast, it's not even doable in 5 years even. 3 yr is just.....
- Infact 3 year LLB should be scrapped instead.
(Btw, I can see what's gonna happen, this petition is going to be dismissed and costs would be charged, best thing)
Would rather prefer a better curated and logically structured BA course. The subjects that I studied during UPSC prep (esp the History, Eco, Polity) helped me in my better understanding of jurisprudence and current laws. The same subjects I had studied in BA without any coherence or logical order.
Ours is still less duration in terms of academic years (usually 5 years integrated or 3+3) in comparison with US (4+3)
Jurisprudence is important and crucial. You need to how law evolved and how it serves the purpose. One might not find it important only if they are paper pushers.
- Scrapping the BA humanities courses. They have zero relevance to legal practice and have been reduced to a woke echo chamber filled with biased literature
- Reduce fam law to 1 course instead of 2 (fam law will anyway become 1 course when the UCC comes into effect)
- Scrap jurisprudence. Again, no relevance to legal practice
- Make labour, IP, human rights and private international law electives.
Kinda like what happens in the UK, US, Australia

I agree 100%. This can easily be done by:
- Scrapping the BA humanities courses. They have zero relevance to legal practice and have been reduced to a woke echo chamber filled with biased literature
- Reduce fam law to 1 course instead of 2 (fam law will anyway become 1 course when the UCC comes into effect)
- Scrap jurisprudence. Again, no relevance to legal practice
- Make labour, IP, human rights and private international law electives.
