Introduction

Bar Council of India (hereafter called 'BCI') have indeed played a very important
role in the development of Legal Education in India. BCI is pioneer for structuring
the Legal Education System in India as it exists today. The BCI was the first to lay
down the standards in terms of system, classroom teaching, practical training and
skill, court visits, moot courts, legal aid work, and other practical training
programmes for law students.

In the present age the aim of legal education has changed. BCI has failed to
implement the new changes required in the Legal Education field. BCI is still
fixated with the view that the sole purpose of Legal Education is to generate
practicing lawyers. The aim of Legal Education should be to create lawyers who
are comfortable and skilled in dealing with the differing legal systems and at the
same time remaining strong in one's own national legal system.

Research Methodology
The method of research that I will be employing in my project is ‘Doctrinal
Research Method’. The Research Methodology for completing this research work
would be descriptive and analytical. But mostly, it would be a descriptive project.
The source of data would be secondary and a lot reading from online sources
would be referred to, to understand its role and functions.
