BA in Law as part of legal education reformsNow students have a direct path to own a degree in Law. Till date the students had the option of choosing conventional graduation degree in science or arts subjects, but now the education system has a proposal that would help students who wish to join LAW after there XII. HRD minister Kapil Sibal feels that the students could be given a working knowledge of law up to Class XII by including elementary and essential law in the school curriculum so that with the option of choosing graduation degree in science or arts, they can choose degree BA in Law. Minister says that the ongoing efforts is to modernize the legal education system by including a graduation degree in law so that after passing Class XII, students who are interested in Law have a direct option of choosing a degree BA in Law.  Bar Council of India, the body regulating legal education and profession, did not have the substance to deal with the exhaustive reforms being contemplated in the field of legal education to equip lawyers to meet the challenges thrown up in the 21st century. The five-year law courses started in the recent past saw the students acquiring law degrees in addition to conventional graduation and the proposal to give an exclusive three-year graduation degree in law after Class XII emanated from the overwhelming play of law in various other professions.
