“When I was a student of law there was hardly one moot court a year and it was considered an extra curricular activity. Nowadays, there are about 40 to 50 moot courts a year and it is considered to be an intra curricular activity,” said Madras High Court Chief Justice Sanjay V. Gangapurwala on Wednesday.
Inaugurating an internship programme to be offered by Tamil Nadu Senior Advocates Forum (TNSAF) to students of Tamil Nadu Dr. Ambedkar Law University, he said, legal education had undergone a paradigm shift and become more innovative and interactive with internships being a part of the curriculum.
He quoted social scientist Alvin Toffler to have said that the illiterates of the 21st century would not be those who could not read or write but those who could not learn, unlearn and relearn. Therefore, he urged the young lawyers as well as law graduates to develop the skill of unlearning to be able to relearn.
