AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

CENTRAL IDEA OF THE PROJECT

Legal education is the education of individuals who intend to become legal professionals
or those who simply intend to use their law degree to some end, either related to law
(such as politics or academic) or business. It can also be said as a preparation for the
practice of law. Legal education includes either an undergraduate or graduate level first
degree in law which varies depending on the country, Vocational courses, Specific
studies in branches of law like Family Laws, Labor Laws, Business and Commercial
Laws, Property Laws, Cyber Laws, etc. and also higher academic degrees and doctorate.
Instruction in law has been offered in universities since medieval times, but, since the
advent of university-based law schools in the 18th and 19th centuries, legal education has
faced the challenge of reconciling its aim of teaching law as one of the academic
disciplines with its goal of preparing persons to become members of a profession. Most
law schools have tried to find a middle path between being a mere trade school and being
a citadel of pure theory. Unfortunately, the criticism is sometimes made that these efforts
result in a type of education that is not practical enough to be genuinely useful in
resolving day-to-day legal problems but yet not as rigorously theoretical as a truly
academic discipline ought to be.
