We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
- Abolish soft subjects like Gender and Law, Law and Poverty etc, which are more BA than LLB?
- Reduce Family Law to 1 course focusing on UCC, given Amit Shah's claim that all 21 BJP-ruled states will have UCC by 2029?
Or have the same syllabus, but fewer holidays for internships, which can accumulate into a year-long internship at the end?

what is required is a structured internship, like maintaining a diary - like MBBS students do, rather than just do one single internship at the end (like what MBBS students do)
also, FM has a track record of trying new things, some of his experiments go well - like the proposed MBA-lite courses at CNLU, but some do not do so well like integrated LLM-PhD with GTA ship he tried at NLUO
so we need to think hard and look at the BCI education rules to see if a postgraduate degree (which law still is) can reduce more than a year (the genesis of 5 year degree was [3 yr undergrad + 3 year lllb - 1 year discount for combining two]) the trick FM has suggested is the 1 year internship at the end but there will also be negative impact on finances of many unis; anyway lets see what happens next. watch the space.
FM is not exactly universally lauded for his pedagogical insights or academic work. He’s succeeded largely by giving students whatever they want standards be damned. It’s a shame that our students are so ignorant they don’t see that for the betrayal of values that it is.
You may want to live on the moon and eat screws for lunch, but thankfully your parents knew to feed you real food and tell you you can’t fly.
