Way To Make Bar Examinations Successful In India

By

Praveen Dalal

From August/September 2010 all fresh law graduates or those who have already graduated but not yet enrolled would be compulsorily required to pass a bar examination to be conducted by Bar Council of India (BCI). Perry4Law Techno-Legal Base (PTLB) and its Bar Examination Segment welcome this initiative of BCI as it would go a long way in bringing Judicial and Legal Reforms in India.

Having said that one cannot deny the difficulties and challenges that the BCI and others associated with the bar examination would face. On top of it are the fears and apprehensions of final year law graduates regarding the same. They have fears that their education at respective law school may not automatically empower them to clear the bar exams and they need some more time to exclusively prepare for the bar exam.

Here starts the real problem. If the bar examination is a sub standard one and is mere formality, it would fail to bring required legal reforms in India. On the other hand, if the exam is a real and effective one, the students must hone up their existing legal knowledge and acumen as the pattern of their study and exams at law colleges/schools may be different from that of bar exams.

I must confess that the burden is upon the BCI to tackle this arduous task effectively as well as graciously. On the one hand it has a greater responsibility towards the nation at large whereas on the other hand it must act as a guide and mentor for fresh law graduates. While the first task has been effectively taken up by the BCI the latter one, in my personal opinion, has been totally neglected by the BCI. Till now the BCI has not come up with a concrete plan regarding the bar exams. For instance, there is no information regarding the course contents, syllabus, dates of exam, authorities that would conduct the exams, suggested resources for preparation, institutions with whom it has tie ups, etc.

While PTLB and Bar Examination Segment of Perry4Law have taken a small but significant step in this direction yet the initiative must come from BCI itself. We have started an “Online Platform” where the registered students may have some guidance and insight regarding the course mentioned therein. This is a “Prototype” that may be adopted by BCI or the BCI may (if it thinks fit) rope us for their bar exams initiative.

Whatever the choice the BCI exercises, it has to keep in mind at least two things. Firstly, it has to arrange all the matters pertaining to bar exams precisely and efficiently. Secondly, it has to do this as soon as possible as the dissatisfaction and unrest among the final year students is increasing.

Perry4Law, PTLB and its other Segments wish all the best to the BCI and we have full faith in not only the intentions but also the potential of BCI to conduct bar exams effectively, efficiently and successfully.

Online Cyber Law Internship In India

Cyber law is gaining importance day by day among the legal fraternity and members of other professions. However, there is a dearth of institutions or centre that can provide qualitative cyber law internship and trainings. Perry4Law is one such exceptional techno-legal firm that provides qualitative internship and training.

Perry4Law has many techno-legal segments and Perry4Law Techno-Legal Base (PTLB) is one of it. PTLB manages the basic level techno-legal training, internship, education, coaching, etc of Perry4Law. PTLB has recently launched the first ever online cyber law internship and training in India. It is meant for law students, law graduates, graduates from other streams like computer science and engineering, lawyers, judges, etc.

This initiative is different from other internship and training initiatives in at least two ways. Firstly, it is online in nature. This has reduced the geographical limitations and any qualified student or professional can apply for the same. Secondly, it is not conducted or undertaken for the sake of doing. It provides qualitative techno-legal internship, training and education with regular performance analysis. Only successful candidates would be declared “Interns of Perry4Law”.

Having internship or training at Perry4Law can open doors of opportunities in the techno-legal world that is anticipated to be tremendous in the future. Grab a seta for yourself before they are taken as they are limited in number. For analyzing the initiative kindly visit PTLB site and for getting a better idea about the initiative visit the information portal of PTLB.

This initiative is, presently, confined to cyber law alone. Students or professionals wishing to enroll for other course have to wait but at the risk of loosing the seats when these courses are available. This is so because “preference” to all future courses would be given to those students who enroll to the starting course of cyber law. If after accommodating the preferential students or professionals, there are still some seats available, then only the remaining seats would be offered to other students or professionals. The first batch of cyber law interns and trainees would also be given preference for the “basic level” lifelong learning initiative of Perry4Law. So just grab a seat even if you are not inclined to do so if you need a golden career in techno-legal field.

Requirement Of Techno-Legal Training For Supreme Court Judges Stressed

Justice S.B. Sinha has recently called for adequate training of law officers to make the judicial process speedy and enhance the performance of judges. He said that there is a definite requirement for the enhancement of judicial skills of our judges. He said that the judges have to deal with very complex cases involving international terrorism, cyber crime and white-collar crime, so they need proper training to do justice to their job.

The importance of techno-legal training institutions like Perry4Law Techno-Legal ICT Training Center (PTLITC) and Perry4Law Techno-Legal Base (PTLB) stems from this contemporary requirement. The same must be supported by a well defined and time bound e-courts project in India.
