NLU students must not look down upon students from other law schools: CJI DY Chandrachud

National Desk:
Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud on Saturday said that law students studying at National Law Universities (NLU) must not look down upon their counterparts from other law schools.
Delivering the convocation address at NALSAR, the CJI emphasised the fact that NLUs have been struggling to be accessible to a wide section of society and said concerns are being raised about the entrance exam pattern.
He said ,“therefore, the outlook of legal education must be to improve the quality of law colleges across the country and not just a few institutions. Further, the sense of entitlement that NLUs are better than other institutions leads to unnecessary wastage of energy. Instead, NLUs should be leaders in the field of legal education, which could help other smaller law colleges grow academically. NLUs ought not to work in a field of isolation. Law students studying in NLUs must not look down upon their counterparts from other law schools. After all, the legal profession is such that we are constantly learning and teaching each other."
