High Costs and Language Barriers Threaten Equal Access to Law Degrees

UPDATE - follow-up to Legal Education In India: An Expensive Dream And Growing Divide In Access To Justice: Law stands as a noble profession in India and across the world, but the system faces serious problems and irregularities that require urgent attention. High course fees and the medium of instruction are driving a wide gap between tier one and tier three colleges. This growing divide raises serious concerns because it puts legal studies out of reach for students from poor and underprivileged families. Meanwhile, the Consortium of National Law Universities acts as the main authority that conducts the top and difficult law entrance exams in the country.
