This circular issued by the BCI on May 20 traces various comments made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on legal education over the past few years. These purportedly include integration of new subjects in legal education, introducing mediation as a compulsory subject, strengthening exchange programs in law schools, increasing the number of women students in legal education and more.
“In light of these considerations, the Bar Council of India issues this circular to all Centres of Legal Education (CLEs) for immediate implementation.”
