Law Courses Through Distance / Online Learning
‘Distance Learning’ as quoted by Dr. S B Mujumdar, Founder, Symbiosis International University is, “the education of the 21st century. The traditional method of teaching in a classroom called ‘brick & mortar’ education has failed to reach millions of those who are thirsty for getting knowledge in an age marked by “Knowledge Revolution”. Distance Education and Open Learning fulfill this need. Distance learning opens new directions of opportunities to obtain higher education without the constraints of location and time.” This is true considering India’s population and the geographical distances.
Amidst GATS, WTO, the Service industry is in a boom and has a bright future. This is true for education also. To take education to the masses and more reachable, distance learning is now being considered as another effective medium. For promoting distance education, Government of India has formed the Distance Education Council.
“Technology, information revolution and Globalization have had their impact on the legal profession too. Legal professionals are always required to upgrade their knowledge. Cyber law, intellectual property law (copyright, patents, trademarks, designs), Technology law (IT), Securities law, ADR (alternative dispute resolution) are some of the emerging areas.
