ABSTRACT:

The Indian legal education and Judiciary has traversed for a prolonged period since the Vedic ancient, mediaeval and colonial stages. A era until the adaption of the constitution. This paper delves with how the post independent legal system transformed into a secular system by tracing its historical evolution during the comparative study is approached to understand the structural framework and legislative changes that took place during the pre and the post independence . Indian jurisprudence laid its basis on the rule of law, where the King himself was the supreme judge, followed by which there was a delegation of adjudicating powers to legal experts who were well versed in Vedas and later a formal legal system was formed at the establishment of courts during the colonisation , reflecting a drastic evolution.

The study aims to cover the impacts of such evolution in contemporary society in terms of its political ,economical and Administrative mechanisms. The post independence legal system has a leveraging shift in its operations. There is a remarkable expansion of the Indian judiciary by way of establishing sub-ordinate courts and Quasi – judicial systems which paved the way for time bound justice.

Additionally the study highlights the adaptation of emerging technology, which has been agreed as a gain to the legal education and judiciary. It also addresses the challenges arising in terms of implementation of the technology explicitly in the Justice system.

Further , the research aims to emphasize the importance of cultivating practical skills in the legal education system to bridge the gap between classrooms and courtrooms . The study concludes by analysing the positive and negative impacts of the reformation of the Indian legal system and also suggests the modifications that can be brought into the Indian legal education and judicial system to encounter arising challenges.
