Abstract

Law is the field which binds the social, economic, and political circumference forming the inevitable part of the society. In India, Legal education is most complicated and multi layered. It needs certainly a reform. Over 1.3 Million advocates are practicing across the nation and almost 1.5 lakh students are graduated across the year. Around 16726 judges in the lower courts and around 700 judges in the High Court and Supreme Court. Judiciary is one of the three pillars enshrined in our constitution next to Legislature and Executory. For the population of 130 crores, only 17500 judges are rendering the judicial services, in that situation, the legal education should be more specific and equipped. The teaching method is the base behind the legal education and reform plays a crucial role. In India, legal education has prepared many lawyers as social engineers, paving the way for societal change. This article revolves around the important methods of teaching legal studies and their impact on the students pursuing law in India. The intricacies present in teaching legal studies have been dealt in detail and the need for reforms in such techniques is also covered.
