CLASSROOM TO COURTROOM: ISSUES AND SOLUTIONS

Abstract

This paper dwells upon the issues of legal education in Pakistan with a comparison to the developed countries. The study indicated that there were significant gaps in the four aspects, which are: old course content, teacher-centered teaching, and little testing and poor practical training. These flaws end up creating graduates who may not always be able to practice the law effectively, which is harmful to the judicial system of the country. Some of the recommendations that have been made in the paper include updating course materials, providing more interactive instruction, experimenting with alternative forms of testing students, and providing more real-world training through the study of other nations. These ideas are to change the way legal training is being conducted in order to produce qualified lawyers who will be in a position to implement the law and help citizens to get access to justice.
