It is still hardcore procedural law and the point being made on this thread repeatedly is that procedural law is difficult to write on
Perhaps the fact that it is more related to the constitution and human rights than the CPC is?
Because it is procedural. Not much for academics and students to write about without any first hand exp
Aren't these outdated? I checked on the internet and couldn't find anyone selling all the volumes which date back to 2009
The people who are saying that procedural law is hard to write on for anyone but practitioners, how do you explain the bucket loads of articles which are written on the CrPC/BNSS?
If we started revoking registration for lack of good practice, then 80% of lawyers in this country would cease to exist.
How can an active practitioner assume a full-time teaching position, unless his practice is not doing well? The same argument can be made about BCI allowing teachers to practice.
Because it's actually hard to make novel arguments on procedural law, when students themselves have limited understanding and limited sources to read.
CPC is procedural law, and most procedural laws require practice experience. Academics and students do not have that kind of exposure. Therefore, the only ones available to write are judges and advocates, and you already know their situation.
The day the BCI changes it rules allowing Active Practitioners in full time teaching positions, we'll have more scholarships.
Because rules of procedure are the handmaidens of justice. No matter what you argue or write, judges will just ignore procedure whenever it is inconvenient. So, no point.
Fair, but why don't academics or students write about it?
Because most practitioners (who are best qualified to comment) don't have time to write. The leading commentary (CK Takwani) is edited by a retired judge.
