Common Law Admission Test (CLAT)

IntroductionIntroductionIntroductionIntroductionIntroductionThe greatest contribution of National Law Schools has been to transform legaleducation into a professional education in its real sense of the term and to make itattractive to Indian intelligentsia. The success of National Law School of IndiaUniversity, Bangalore, has inspired many States to set up similar institutions intheir respective territories and at present, there are eleven Law Schools in differentparts of the country. These institutions are national in the sense that substantialnumber of seats in all these institutions are filled up by students from all over Indiaand the academic staff are also recruited on all India basis. All of them conductadmission tests in different centres spread all over the country and thousands ofstudents after their ten plus two examinations take these admission tests.

As the things stand now, each Law School conducts its own admission test andadmits students as per its regulations. As a result, students aspiring for good legaleducation have to write a number of admission tests; and this multiplicity ofadmission tests has been causing tremendous hardship both physically and financiallyto the candidates taking these tests. This issue was raised from time to time byseveral people, but it drew national attention as a result of a Writ Petition filed byMr. Varun Bhagat against the Union of India and various National Law Schools inthe Supreme Court of India in 2006. In the course of hearing, the HonourableChief Justice of India directed the Union of India to consult the National LawSchools with a view to evolving a scheme for common admission test. It may benoted that the Bar Council of India strongly supported this move towards commonadmission test.

Since all National Law Schools owe their existence to their respective StateLegislation, there is no central agency to coordinate their activities. Therefore, amove such as common admission test requires the consensus of all National LawSchools participating in such a process. To facilitate such a consensus, the Ministryof Human Resources Development, the Government of India and the UniversityGrants Commission of India convened the meeting of the Vice-Chancellors of sevenNational Law Schools namely NLSIU, NALSAR, NLIU, NUJS, NLU, HNLU and GNLU.The Chairman, Bar Council of India actively participated at these meetings. It maybe noted that these seven Law Schools have been functioning for quite some timeunlike other newly-established National Law Schools. After a couple of such meetings,these seven National Law Schools signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)on 23rd November, 2007 committing themselves to hold the common admission test.It is quite in order to acknowledge the significant role played by Mr. Sunil Kumar,

Joint Secretary, Ministry of Human Resources Development and Prof. Mool ChandSharma, Vice-Chairman, University Grants Commission in this entire exercise.

According to this MoU, the Common Law Admission Test would be conductedhereafter every year by each of National Law Schools on rotation as per thecriterion of seniority. The NLSIU, Bangalore, the oldest of the National Law Schoolswill set the process in motion by undertaking to conduct the admission test for theacademic year 2008-09.

It is expected that other National Law Schools (i.e., the Law Schools establishedby State enactments) would join these seven Law Schools in due course.

It has been our experience that larger the catchment area, better will be thequality of students; and it would be better for the institutions and the society. Thisshould be the first step to improve the quality of our educational institutions, sothat they may measure upto the international standards. This is imperative, if wehave to successfully meet the challenges of globalization.

The following National Law Universities will be making use of Common LawAdmission Test scores for their respective admissions for the academic year2008-09:

National Law SchoolsIt is somewhat paradoxical that the legal education had not received the adequateattention from our policy makers in the early years of our Independence despitethe fact that most of them were eminent lawyers. Naturally there was heavyemphasis on technical education in view of the need for industrializing our economy.But the important role assigned to law and the judiciary in our system of constitutionalgovernance required sound legal education as well. The relative negligence of legaleducation took a heavy toll on the system; and the concept of national law schoolwas a response to meet the challenges posed by the deteriorating standards.

The Bar Council of India, representing the organized legal profession at all Indialevel, took initiative in establishing the first National Law School of the country.This bold experiment required statutorily-guaranteed autonomy from theconventional university system. Hence there was a need for the establishmentof a full-fledged law university. The Government of Karnataka, under thevisionary leadership of the then Chief Minister, Sri. Ramakrishna Hegde,responded to the request of Bar Council of India by passing the National LawSchool of India Act, 1986. The State Government also provided the land and thesubstantial financial assistance in the initial stages. The Law School becamefunctional in 1988. From the very beginning, it admitted students on the basisof all India admission test.

The decade of nineties was the era of globalization and it opened up vastopportunities for young law graduates. As a result, the products of National LawSchool have been very much in demand everywhere. This phenomenon inspiredother State Governments to set up similar law schools in their own States. As aresult, a number of National Law Schools have come up in different parts of thecountry. Statutory basis provided by the State Legislature concerned and intake onall India basis are the common characteristics of all these Law Schools. Of course,all of these Law Schools had close links with the higher judiciary. Invariably, eitherthe Chief Justice of India or the Chief Justice of the respective High Court happensto be the Chancellor of these Law Schools.

Broadly speaking, the objectives of all these National Law Schools may besummarized as follows:

to achieve excellence in legal education and in this process, benchmarkthemselves against the international standards.

to impart comprehensive legal education relevant to the requirementsof our country.

to advance knowledge by promoting inter-disciplinary research in allbranches of law.

to inculcate noble professional and ethical values so as to realize theobjectives enshrined in our Constitution.

In keeping with the present trend, all National Law Schools are expected to beself-financing, and therefore, they charge relatively higher tuition fees. But it hasbeen the common objective of all of them that no student is compelled todiscontinue the study on account of financial constraints. Hence, all of themprovide liberal means cum merit scholarships.

All National Law Schools are residential and the students are expected to be in thecampus so that the teaching and learning would be a continuous process.

With these words of introduction, the Common Law Admission Committee welcomesthe young students from all over India and abroad to come and study in NationalLaw Schools. In order to facilitate the selection, brief sketches of the academicprogrammes offered by each of the Law Schools are provided herewith. For furtherdetails, one may access the website of the Law School concerned or go throughthe bulletins of the individual law schools.

The Honours course differentiates itself from theHonours paper system, wherein a student opting for a stream, is enriched withintensive knowledge through three exhaustive papers. The teaching in honourspaper is highly interactive due to choice-based study of the subject. The course isdesigned with a near resemblance to a postgraduate course in a particular subject.Coupled with the compulsory papers as prescribed by the University, the Honourscourse provides a comprehensive five-paper study in the chosen subject, oncompletion of the exercise.
