BHUBANESWAR: The higher education department is planning to form a strategy for improving the quality of education in law colleges of the state in line with the national law universities (NLUs).
There will be an expert committee to look into the law education in the state university and make recommendations. “Government’s intention is to improve the legal education in the state colleges. The committee will do brainstorming on this. It is in its nascent stage,” said Asoka Kumar Das, vice chairperson of Odisha State Higher Education Council (OSHEC).
The law university in the state may recruit adjunct faculty/professors of practice programmes with eminent jurists. This topic was discussed by vice-chancellors and department officials at the Vice Chancellors’ Conclave organised by the OSHEC at Puri last month.
