Legal Education in India

Legal education in India involves training students to become qualified lawyers, judges, or legal professionals. It typically starts with a bachelor's degree in law (BA LL.B., BBA LL.B., etc.), which can be pursued after high school through undergraduate programs or after completing another degree via postgraduate courses. The National Law Universities and various colleges offer these programs, combining coursework, practical training, and internships. The Bar Council of India regulates legal education and admission to the legal profession. Post-graduation options include specialized master's degrees and research opportunities. Successful graduates must pass the All India Bar Examination to practice law nationally.
