<br/><br/> The Indian legal education is in an important crossroad wherein it has to ask some<br/>basic and fundamental questions about its existing learning process. This selfrealization grows manifold for institutes embroiled in higher education. Having<br/>said this, the National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020) is considered to be a<br/>visionary document that not only suggests for path breaking reforms to put the<br/>university system in a competitive advantage for an emerging knowledge society,<br/>but also allows space to adopt measures to improve its functioning. In this perspective,<br/>the article argues that India’s NEP 2020 could act as a pivotal tool to introduce a<br/>4+1 years (full time study + full time internship/on the job training) law degree<br/>program. Adoption of such a method will result in professional lawyers who will<br/>have the skills and value training, and at the same time due to on-the-job experience,<br/>a fair realization of what knowledge is and will be relevant for years.- Reproduced<br/><br/>http://14.139.60.116:8080/jspui/bitstream/123456789/48340/1/14_Making%20a%20Case%20for%20Transforming%20Legal%20Education%20in%20India%20A%20Proposal%20to%20Introduce%204%2b1%20Years%20Law%20Program%20in%20Law%20Schools.pdf
