New Delhi : The Law Ministry plans to set up a national commission to regulate various aspects of legal education in India, a job so far entrusted with the Bar Council of India.
The draft Higher Legal Education and Research Bill, 2010, prepared by the Ministry provides for creation of a national commission to regulate various aspects of legal education.
The bill provides for the regulation of various aspects of higher legal education and research, grant of recognition to law schools, colleges and institutions imparting legal education and research.
The ministry drafted the bill to counter the HRD Ministry's National Commission for Higher Education and Research Bill, which sought to include legal education under the ambit of a single regulator for all streams of higher education.
