The Vision for Reform 15academia over their perceived under-representation in the BCILegal Education Committee, LCI rightly notes that the roles of theBar, Bench and the academia vis-à-vis the regulation of legaleducation should be balanced. The Report rejects the propositionthat the Bar Council’s role should be limited to regulating entryinto the legal profession and maintenance of professionalstandards.LCI recommends that the BCI Legal Education Committee shouldconsist of 5 members elected from amongst the BCI members, oneretired Judge of the Supreme Court, one retired Chief Justice /Judge of a High Court and 3 active law teachers holding the rank ofVice-Chancellor / Director / Principal / Professor in a law college.The inclusion of the Attorney General for India as an ex-officiomember is also recommended.iii. To represent the academia, the Report recommends theconstitution of a UGC Committee on Legal Education, comprisinga total of 10 members, with 6 members being law teachers in officeand 2 members being Vice-Chancellors / Directors of statutory lawUniversities.The Report envisages 3 faculty members to becommon to both the BCI Legal Education Committee and theREPORT OF 3-MEMBER COMMITTEE ON REFORM OF LEGAL EDUCATION
The Vision for Reform 16UGC Committee on Legal Education, in order to ensure bettercoordination between the BCI and the UGC Committees.iv.LCI envisages ‘effective consultation’ between BCI and theUniversities as a three-tier process: the first consultation on aproposal regarding legal education would be between BCI, throughits Legal Education Committee, and the State Bar Councils, afterwhich the proposals would be considered by the UGC Committeeon Legal Education. As the final stage of the consultation, theproposals would once again be deliberated by the BCI LegalEducation Committee.v. LCI also contemplates that the proposals of the BCI LegalEducation Committee would be binding on the Bar Council, andwould have to be implemented “without demur”. It is noteworthythat consistent with the recommendations of the 14 th LawCommission Report, the 184 th Report also accords primacy to BCIwith respect to regulation of professional legal education.vi.With respect to inspection and recognition of law colleges by BCI,LCI recommends that it is imperative to require prior permissionfrom BCI for imparting legal education. LCI rightly observes thatthe absence of such a requirement has lead to a host of law collegesREPORT OF 3-MEMBER COMMITTEE ON REFORM OF LEGAL EDUCATION
