ABSTRACT

The globalization of legal education has brought new challenges and opportunities for India's legal system. This paper argues that Indian legal education must adapt to the changing global landscape by prioritizing global knowledge, faculty research, and curriculum development. It highlights the need for law schools to adopt a more international outlook, incorporate technology and communication skills, and foster critical thinking and analytical abilities. The paper also emphasizes the importance of attracting and retaining high-quality faculty, promoting excellence, and addressing the needs of marginalized communities. Furthermore, it suggests that legal education should be modernized to meet the current requirements of the legal profession and that immediate action is necessary to rectify the decline in legal education quality. Ultimately, the paper asserts that comprehensive and versatile legal education is crucial for cultivating human resources and idealism to enhance the legal system and contribute to the progress of the nation.
