The Indian Armed Forces Tribunal faces multiple challenges in the modern era, not least being involved in an era of gender parity and the ambit of cases it can officially deal with. At an India Legal Research Foundation event, Editor-in-Chief, APN channel, RAJSHRI RAI spoke with JUSTICE RAJENDRA MENON, the chairperson of Armed Forces Tribunal on a range of issues. Excerpts:

The role of lawyers is considered very significant to uphold the law of the country and protect the legal rights of their clients. The scope of a career in the legal industry is very rewarding, but for a few who are dedicated to the profession. Earning potential and job satisfaction move to the next level where you can identify a good career path for you.

The legal industry offers you rewarding opportunities in your career if you pursue all your work with responsibility. Taking admissions to any reputed law college can be a very stressful experience. You just need to start your preparation early, if you want to improve your ways to get admission to the law school of your choice. 

The debate between practical and theoretical aspects of legal education has been growing. In this context, the norms surrounding legal pedagogy and course curriculum, along with ensuring the ethical and moral development of the students, need to be re-emphasised.

The Bar Council of India (BCI) by the notification on January 02, decided to scrap the Master Degree Course in Law of one-year duration introduced in India in 2013.

A virtual academic conference hosted by the law college recently to coincide with Constitution Day discussed the future of legal education and the role of law schools. A host of eminent speakers from the legal fraternity addressed the topic and raised some important issues.
