Can Law be Pursued in Distance Mode?
Edited By Moksh Dheri | Updated on Feb 04, 2025 04:24 PM IST | #Law
Law is one of the most respected professions and sought-after fields in the world. After graduating with a law degree from a recognised university, students can opt for various careers such as a lawyer, legal advisor, or judge. However, due to its high demand, many students may wonder whether it is possible to pursue a law degree through distance or correspondence mode. While distance learning is gaining popularity in recent times, students must understand a few things about pursuing law through distance mode.
Law Courses in India
Various law courses are offered in India, however not all the courses are recognised by the BCI as being equivalent to a law degree. Some of the courses offered in law are mentioned below.
UG Courses in Law
PG Courses in Law
According to the circular released by BCI, it does not recognise MA Law as equivalent to a LLM (Legum Magister). LLM degree is specifically created for law students, while an MA consists of broader academic subjects and is considered separate from an LLM degree.
Can Law Be Pursued in Distance Mode?
Law as a career is regulated by the Bar Council of India (BCI). It governs legal education and law practice. According to BCI, it does not recognise any law degree pursued through online, distance, correspondence, open or distance mode. It mandates that law education should include classroom lectures, moot court and practice.
Why Pursuing Law in a Traditional Mode Important?
While distance or correspondence mode may sound intriguing to law aspirants, legal education requires practical training and moot court practice. All these requirements cannot be met successfully through distance mode. To practise law in India, students need to pass the All India Bar Examination (AIBE).
Conclusion
To conclude, legal education cannot be attained through open and distance learning (ODL mode). To pursue a Law degree, students must have an LLB or LLM degree from a recognised institute in India and successfully clear the All India Bar Examination (AIBE) examination.
