Bhuvneshvar, The
President of India Pranab Mukherjee attended the 12th Convocation of NALSAR
University of Law today Shameerpet, Telangana.Speaking on the occasion, the President said that lawyers play a vital role in
ensuring the public access to justice and making our Constitution a living
reality. He stated that legal education has undergone a paradigm shift in the
last two decades. Yet there are many areas that require further strengthening.
Our educational institutions imparting law education have to bridge the gap
between theoretical concepts and practical application. They have to ignite
inquiry and encourage curiosity. The study of legal system cannot be pursued in
isolation from the wider socio-economic realities. Legal education should be
seen by students and practitioners much beyond than a means of livelihood. It
must encourage them to constantly think about how their actions will affect the
common man.
The President said that it is his hope that our leading law schools are
encouraging their students to not merely learn the content of laws but to also
assess their rationale, the consequences of their implementation and
constructive suggestions for their reform. He is happy to learn that NALSAR in
the last two years has made conscious efforts to diversify its curriculum by
offering more elective courses, giving students greater academic flexibility.
He stated that NALSAR is a one-of-its-kind law university in the country which
has choice-based credit policy in the true sense.
