New Delhi, May 01: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today said a “dramatic reform” was necessary in legal education system to make law fraternity sensitive to the needs of the marginalised sections.
“If we are to have a society where the common man gets speedy and affordable access to justice, if we are to have the rule of law in our country, if we are to have an economic environment where contracts are easily enforcible, we must ensure that our law teachers, practising advocates, corporate lawyers, legal advisors, judicial officers and legal facilitators are of a very high standard,” he said.
“This is possible only if there is dramatic reform and improvement in the scope and quality of legal education system,” he said inaugurating a National Consultation for Second Generation Reforms in Legal Education.
