68It is in the light <strong>of</strong> the above urgency <strong>of</strong> situation that the <strong>Law</strong><strong>Commission</strong> has introduced a separate chapter on ADR in this Report toemphases that (1) law students and (2) lawyers who are at the Bar –mustbe trained in the ADR systems.6.11 It appears that Bar Council <strong>of</strong> <strong>India</strong> has already treated ADR as acompulsory subject (see page 92 <strong>of</strong> the UGC Model Curriculum 2001). Italso appears that the UGC Curriculum Report 2001 has accepted the saidrecommendation as is clear from the same paragraph <strong>of</strong> the Report.We, therefore, recommend that clause (h) <strong>of</strong> sub-section (1) <strong>of</strong>section 7 be amended for enabling the Bar Council <strong>of</strong> <strong>India</strong> to promoteADR as a subject <strong>of</strong> academic study in the law school for students and alsoto promote continuing education on ADR for legal practitioner.We, also recommend that the High Courts, BCI, State Bar Councils,the <strong>India</strong>n <strong>Law</strong> Institute, the ICADR and similar organisations should startADR training programmes for lawyers and judicial <strong>of</strong>ficers. <strong>The</strong> trainingcould be a short term one for one week, or it may a one-month certificatecourse or a six-month/one-year diploma course.
