Bar Council Turns Down Applications For 55 Law Colleges

  •  The Bar Council of India (BCI) rejected applications by 55 colleges asking for recognition to start fresh law courses, a move seen as an attempt to restrict the number of institutions offering undergraduate legal studies courses.
  • The council's decision came after its members held day-long deliberations on the applications BCI received between July and December 2019. The majority of the applications were from institutions in Uttar Pradesh.
  • According to the procedure, institutions approach the council for approval of affiliation after a state university grants it. Being the apex disciplinary body for lawyers, the BCI is also the regulator for legal education. "The procedure requires the college to first develop infrastructure and then apply to the state government's higher education department for a no-objection certificate. Thereafter, the state university gives affiliation, which the BCI approves upon receiving an application from the college.
  • The BCI's decision is part of its sustained efforts to improve the standards of existing law colleges since the body has recently come under severe criticism for approving institutions found to be flouting UGC (University Grants Commission) norms in terms of infrastructure and paying salaries to teachers.
