In an effort to introduce reforms in legal studies and to provide quality legal education the union government has planned to establish law universities in the country. The Ministry of Law is working on the plan. Though the plan is very initial stage but sources close to the Law Ministry say that there will be five law universities in the country, each for every region. These will be established in north, south, east, west and north-east area of the country.
The plan is being implanted with the help of National Law School University (NLSU) Bangalore. As the NLSU is situated in the southern region so there will be no separate central law university in the area. The proposed universities will be specialized institutions for legal education and admission in these universities will be done through entrance examination. It is notable that there is huge gap between requirement and availability of quality legal experts and legal officers for our judicial system. The proposed universities are being planned to fill the gap to some extent.
