The Bar Council of India (BCI) has been trying to improve the standards of legal education. The BCI has recently revised the curriculum prescribed for the LL.B degree course by introducing a number of new subjects which are relevant and useful. The earlier syllabus was framed two decades ago and the Council felt that the same was not in tune with changing scenario in view of globalization taking place in the country.

The newly introduced curriculum for the LL.B gives more importance to practical training aspects of the legal education and the scheme for practical training involved by the Council in such a manner as may give the law students the much needed professional training during the course of study which they undergo.
