ABOUT THE CONFERENCE :
Indian Law Society, is pleased to invite participation and submissions for Remembering S.P.Sathe: 12th National Workshop on Curriculum & Learning Outcome of Legal Education scheduled from 25th to 26th of May 2018. This year the Conference in Remembering S.P.Sathe Event will be conducted in the form of a workshop. We are currently witnessing an unprecedented transformation in the legal profession and legal education. The demand for legal professionals has evolved in almost all spheres of life- from social, economic, political to the contemporary changes in Technological advancements.
We at ILS believe that the mainstream, traditional Legal Education Institutions produce legal professionals for most of the legal fields in India. It is thus, important to strengthen them and reform the curriculum to cater to these fields in a better manner.
The last work on Curriculum Development of Law was by the Bar Council of India in 2010-11. Report of the Curriculum Development Committee of the Bar Council India on Law Curriculum (15th February 2010 Report) reflects an attempt to involve the stakeholder perspective. The report recommends innovative program structures. However, these innovations and requirements of legal field call for promising opportunities as well as challenges. One of such challenges is evolving the law curriculum with the inputs from all the stakeholders in legal fraternity and legal education right from academicians, Legal Education institutions, litigating lawyers, senior law firm partners, administrators to judges.
The workshop aims at bringing together academic scholars, senior professionals from legal field, policy makers, regulatory authorities and members of the Bar and the Bench to deliberate, discuss and guide on formulation of law curriculum to meet the needs of legal profession and ends of justice. The workshop would witness an array of backgrounds and perspectives of its contributors in determining the parameters of curriculum development, teaching learning methodologies and evaluation pattern.
Structure of the Workshop: The workshop is spanned over a period of 2 days with sessions by experts deliberating and discussing on principles of drafting of Law Curriculum, effective law teaching and objective evaluation. The panel will comprise of legal experts representing the judiciary, academia, litigation, and law firms or policy makers.

The workshop would include hands on activity of drafting curriculum, teaching/ session plans and evaluation scheme or question paper on an identified course/ subject.
