Let`s not produce law degrees, but law graduates in the true spirit”—with this intention, a law professor from the city has sent a twenty-six-page representation to the varsity and Bar Council of India, raising concerns about poor attendance of students in law colleges and the failure to take disciplinary action against defaulting students.
However, legal experts differ on this issue and argue that law is a professional course, and many students in law colleges are already working or interning. Therefore, it is practically not possible to implement strict attendance norms. Some even question the quality of law education in colleges, stating that theoretical law studies are far different from real courtroom practice, which requires taking up internships.
