General Instructions:
1. A country is known, respected and recognized globally if itseconomy is strong, democracy has deep roots in the society, has goodgovernance and a well established rule of law.
2. As amatter of fact, a vibrant and non-pliable judiciary is one of theparameters for recognition of a country as a developed nation and a sinequa non in the determination of its comparative status among thenations.
3. Thus, a strong and independent judiciary, capable of handlingchallenges, not only thrown by enlightened citizens but also by itslegislature is what goes into the making of a progressive and welldeveloped nation.
4. This is where a continued legal education assumes importance and Ipropose to confine myself to this aspect of legal education in this briefpaper.The Justice Delivery System (JDS) basically involves judges,lawyers, police officers, forensic experts and also executive officers ofother wings.
5. In other words, the judicial systems and the administrativesystems of justice involve almost all the organs of the governmentmachinery. It is the team work of all these persons which ultimatelycontributes towards resolutions of disputes between the parties.
6. Such a standard of perfection can be achieved only if all theorgans involved in JDS are well equipped with infrastructures, tools anlegal and scientific literature. In this regard, it would be well to bear inmind that such tools of performance, including the literature,
7. As aconsequence persons operating these tools and manning the differentoffices connected with JDS also need regular updating of theirknowledge to keep pace with new emerging laws, changes in society,innovations in science and technologies and so on.
8. It is very often said that sharing of knowledge is also gaining ofknowledge. However, in practice it is seen that persons, who possescertain special knowledge in a particular professional field, are reluctantto share their skill gratuitously on a wrong notion that by doing so theywill create their own competitors.
9. Interestingly, on the other hand,instances are not lacking where even persons who stand to gain by suchsharing of knowledge have reservations about availing of suchadvantage. For instance, the concept of training was not received wellinitially in any part of the world. Proposals initiated both in England andAustralia for training of Magistrates,
10. tribunal personnel and the judges inthe late seventies of the last century were not welcomed by manymembers of the judiciary. The situation in India cannot be said to havebeen different. The concept of continued legal education in Indian judiciary is also of recent origin
