Dear Editor,
There is an age-old proverb in law circles that my mentor and partner always reminds me of – “law is a jealous mistress”. One must be ready to practise the law with patience and diligence to become a successful practitioner. Although the introduction of e-research and online journals have aided the industry, it is truly the practise of law, and experience, that continue to mould lawyers.
Sadly, the legal education system in India have failed to incorporate this vision while framing their curricula and academic schedules. There is a misplaced focus on attendance and classroom teaching, and there is no emphasis on practical learning, where law students “practise” the law. Internships are the sole place where students get an exposure into the professional practices and industry knowledge, without which they will be left only with theoretical knowledge that is obsolete and not relevant due to the fast-paced dynamism within the legal industry.
