Friend, please note that LLB degree is not requisite to be learned scholar of international law. You are forgetting that Prof Patel is having 2 PhDs in international law, one from world famous Leiden University and one from India under esteemed jurist Prof V.S Mani. He is also having LLM in international law from Leiden University and MA degrees from Amsterdam University. Such prestigious qualifications speak for itself. It is also example of having interdisciplinary outlook, which is rare and valuable quality. Kindly get even half PhD from local university (forget Leiden) then you can pass such cruel comments. In this context I would like to point out that no VC of any law school in India has qualifications from any world class university. You are also perhaps not aware of reputation of Leiden University or Amsterdam University. Kindly read on the internet. These two universities have many Nobel laureates among alumni and professors and are in world rankings. Can you explain me how they gave degrees to Prof Patel if he is not having legal knowledge?

In history, many jurists have not had LLB degree, such as classical scholars we study in jurisprudence. Also, many economists and political scientists have also contributed to legal scholarship and policy. Prof Patel can be placed in such a category of interdisciplinary expert.
