38(ii)Second stage of consultation thereafter should be with the bodynominated by UGC, as now proposed:4.2 The consultation by the Bar Council of India with the UGCCommittee on Legal Education will be after the consultation with the StateBar Councils and will have to be as follows.4.3 As stated above, the Legal Education Committee of the Bar Councilof India will consult the State Bar Councils and will have to provisionallyfinalise its proposals. This will be for the purpose of the furtherconsultation with the UGC Committee on Legal Education. The saidproposals will then have to be sent by the Legal Education Committee ofthe Bar Council of India to the UGC Committee on Legal Education. ThatCommittee will have the benefit of the views of the three academicianswho are also in the Bar Council of India’s Legal Education Committee andonce the views of the UGC Committee are finalized, the decision of theUGC Committee will have to come back to the Bar Council of India’sLegal Education Committee for discussion. Once again the threeacademician members can explain the views of the UGC Legal EducationCommittee to the Bar Council of India’s Legal Education Committee. Thetwo members from the Judiciary will also consider these views. Once theBar Council Legal Education Committee considers these views, acollective decision has to be taken in the said Committee by all the tenmembers, including the Chairman (the retired Judge of the Supreme Court).In the new scenario, it is expected that the BCI Legal Education Committeeand the UGC Legal Education Committee will give due and properconsideration to each other’s views and arrive at a consensus. Of course, in
39the absence of a consensus, the majority view of the Legal EducationCommittee of the Bar Council will have to prevail. It is expected that atsuch a meeting, all the members and, in particular, the retired/sitting Judgeof the High Court, will invariably be present to help in the emergence of asatisfactory solution to any problem arising out of differences between theBCI Committee and the UGC Committee.4.4 In certain situations, the Faculty may like to initiate and place somesuggestions before the Bar Council of India. There must, therefore, be aseparate procedure whereby the UGC Committee on Legal Education mayinitiate and send its suggestions to the Legal Education Committee of theBar Council of India. In that event, the latter Committee shall first consultthe State Bar Councils and then after arriving at a provisional view, referthe same to the Legal Education Committee of the UGC. The saidCommittee will give its final views and forward the same to the LegalEducation Committee of the Bar Council of India.4.5 The second aspect which the Bar Council has to take care of is thatwhenever a new curriculum is introduced – sufficient advance notice mustbe given to the law schools so that they can take steps to conform to theprescriptions. Let us assume that new subjects in intellectual property orcyber law or environmental law are proposed to be introduced. It may benoted that all the 460 law schools may not immediately be able to get 460law teachers in each of these subjects who are duly qualified and who cantake up these classes. There may be other difficulties like non-availabilityof standard books which can meet the requirements of students. Therehave been serious complaints from managements and faculty that some of
