Bar council cannot run law college it regulates, Supreme Court told
The lawyer did not provide details but appeared to refer to the BCI’s plan of setting up an academy for lawyers in Goa.
Advocate Prashant Bhushan argued before the Supreme Court that the Bar Council of India, despite being a regulatory body, cannot operate a law college. The Bar Council's plan to establish an academy for lawyers in Goa is the subject of his recent petition. Bhushan made this statement while addressing a separate case, the one challenging the SHANTI Act.
He did not offer specific details but seemed to allude to BCI chairman Manan Kumar Mishra's recent announcement. Mishra stated that the Bar Council aims to create a National Legal Academy (NLA) at its India International University of Legal Education and Research (IIULER) campus in Goa. The NLA will provide compulsory training for all lawyers over a 10-day or two-week period, and all IIULER students will have the chance to interact with judges, trainers, professors, and senior advocates.
