Online Training Of Judges In India

Judges in India, especially those manning the lower courts, are working really hard. At times they do not have time to even brush up their legal acumen and knowledge. Further, news laws are enacted every year by Indian Parliament and unless the judges attend some refresher course on regular basis, these legislations are not known to them.

However, nothing is more missing than the techno legal training and education of judges at all levels. Judges must be aware of not only legal aspects but also of the technical aspects as well. Laws like cyber law are a good example of techno legal field.

In India, there are very few institutions and centers that are providing techno legal trainings and educations to judges. This is because of the specialised nature of the field. Further, there is no framework for continuing legal education in India (CLE in India) or lifelong learning in India for judges or lawyers.

We have a single techno legal research, training and education centre in India. The same is managed by Perry4Law Techno Legal Base (PTLB). It is providing techno legal training and education to judges, lawyers, police officers, public prosecutors, etc in the fields like cyber law, online dispute resolution (ODR), e-courts, cyber forensics, digital evidencing, etc.

To provide flexibility and extensive cyber law training in India, PTLB has also launched an online platform. The online platform of PTLB allows a lawyer, judge, law enforcement officer corporate executive, etc to sharpen their techno legal skills even at the comfort of their home, offices, chambers or corporate room.

Application form for the enrollment to various courses, internships and trainings can be downloaded from here.

In order to get enrolled, you must duly fill the form and submit the same along with the prescribed fees. For more details regarding the fees, duration of courses, natures of courses, etc see the FAQs.

For lawyers and judges, PTLB has launched a separate platform known as Online Lawyers and Judges Training and Educational Centre of India. In short, it is known as Bar & Bench Training Blog that provides meaningful insight to not only lawyers and judges of India but also world wide.

Judges in India need to enroll to such courses as they must upgrade their concepts on regular basis. Further, the legal education policy of India must also incorporate the model suggested by PTLB. Law Minister Veerappa Moily has been taking many good steps for legal and judicial reforms in India and CLE of judges should be a part of the same.

Continuing Legal Education In India

Legal lifelong learning has a very important objective. It keeps on updating the knowledge of those involved in legal or allied fields. Continuous updating ones skills and knowledge is very essential to keep an edge over others.

This is also important in the dynamic legal field through which the legal profession is passing through. Fields like cyber law, cyber forensics, etc were not available a decade before but they must be learnt by all those related to legal field.

Legal education has now become techno legal where a legal professional must be aware of both technical as well as legal fields. However, there is a dearth of techno legal institutions that provide legal lifelong learning. One such institution that provides techno legal lifelong learning (TLLL) is managed by Perry4Law Techno Legal Base (PTLB).

At the same time there is also a dire need to have institutions that can provide good continuing legal education in India (CLE in India). PTLB covers both traditional legal fields as well as contemporary techno legal fields.

There is an urgent need to bring suitable legal educational reforms in India. The present legal education in India is not up to the mark. Further, the legal education in India is also shying away in using e-learning and online learning to expand the legal education base.

Law Minister Veerappa Moily and bar Council of India (BCI) must take some immediate and pro active role in the direction of legal education in India in general and CLE/LLLE in particular.

Judges And Lawyers Training Centre In India

Prime Minister of India Dr. Manmohan Singh has advised judges and lawyers of India to continuously upgrade their knowledge. He suggested that judges and lawyers must go for periodic refresher courses so they can cope up with the paradigm shift in the very nature of law. New areas like cyber law should be learnt by them.

These are very wise word. However, to achieve the same we need good quality and world renowned techno-legal institutions that can achieve this task. Perry4Law Techno-Legal Base (PTLB) is one such premier techno-legal institution of the world. It has recently launched its online techno-legal cyber law training, coaching, internships, etc for law students, lawyers, judges, professionals, etc.

PTLB is just one of the techno-legal segments of Perry4Law. There are some very interesting techno-legal segments of Perry4Law that take care of various techno-legal services of Perry4Law. For instance, take the example of techno-legal lifelong learning centre of Perry4Law. It is the exclusive lifelong learning centre of India working in the direction of providing a continuing and lifelong legal learning in India. Similarly, the bar examination segment of Perry4Law is catering the demands of fresh law graduates to clear the recently introduced bar examination in India.

As far as training of judges in India is concerned we have some very good institutions in India. However, there seems to be no training centre for lawyers in India. The real problem comes when we talk about techno-legal training of lawyers and judges in India.

Fortunately, even this issue has been redressed by Perry4Law Techno-Legal ICT Training Centre (PTLITC) of Perry4Law. It is providing techno-legal training to almost all the segments of governmental as well as non-governmental professionals and workforce. Among other trainings, it is also providing training to judges and lawyers in India and abroad.

With these initiatives at place, lot of hope is available for the legal fraternity as well as judges in India.
