1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.

I have taught both BA llb students and bba llb students- they’re all bright - but every teacher in my uni would tell you they have to spend a significant chunk of time with their bba llb students explaining basic concepts because they didn’t do the social sciences / humanities courses. And there’s a hole in the middle of their legal education.

This is a moment of reckoning for the humanities, with even the CJI considering a petition about the BA-LLB programme, stating that the humanities subjects don't add any value to legal education.
Where do all these developments leave the NLUs?
