NEW DELHI: At a time when the lucrative legal profession is attracting nearly two and half lakh students to pursue LLB degree in over 1,000 law colleges every year, there is a dire need for trained law teachers.
The Bar Council of India (BCI) took the initiative to set up India s first law teacher training institute - Indian Institute of Law (IIL) - in collaboration with Kalinga Institute of Industrial Training (KIIT) at Bhubaneswar, a move that drew praises from three Supreme Court Judges - Justices U U Lalit, B R Gavai and V Ramasubramanian. Justices Lalit and Gavai would become CJis in the next few years.
