Corporate jobs dominated by recent law graduates, according to Chief Justice BR Gavai and his NLU model assertion

The current Chief Justice of India (CJI), BR Gavai, has issued a caution about the National Law University (NLU) model, expressing concern that the model has not encouraged its graduates to pursue public service.

On Tuesday, CJI BR Gavai spoke about the impact of the NLU model on the career choices of its graduates. He expressed his worry that the NLU model, with its focus on corporate jobs, may be causing a significant number of its graduates to bypass public service.

The NLUs in India are renowned for their high-quality legal education, and they are among the country's top-ranking law schools. However, according to CJI BR Gavai, the NLU model has led to a large share of its graduates pursuing corporate jobs.

The topic of CJI BR Gavai's caution was the potential impact of the NLU model on the public service sector. He highlighted that this could be a significant concern, given the crucial role public service plays in the country's legal system.

It is important to note that the name of the university where Chief Justice BR Gavai made his warning about NLU graduates' preference for corporate jobs and absence from public service is not explicitly mentioned in the available search results.

By doing so, they can contribute to the development of the country's legal system and ensure access to justice for all.
