16 DR. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR : WRITINGS AND SPEECHES
(2) There must be one common Examining Body. As a part of this scheme of re-organisation, I think a Council of Legal Education for supervising Legal Education and also for conducting Examination in Law should be established. The body should consist of the following :–
(i) Representatives of the University.
(ii) Representatives of the Judges of the High Court.
(iii) Representatives of the Bar.
(iv) Representatives of the Professors of Law Colleges.
(v) Representatives of the Public.
I am not prepared to hand over the function of the Examination to the Bar Council. There is a danger of the Council developing the Trade Union mentality. It would be fatal to the whole system of the Legal Education if such a mentality became an operative force in the conduct of Examination. Already the system of Examination has resulted in killing all interest in the study of Law. Care should be taken to see that there is no aggrevation of this unfortunate result.
(3) The granting of the Sanad should not merely depend on the mere passing of the Examination. It should be made dependent upon the passing on three conditions. :–
(a) The holding of a Degree in Law.
(b) Reading in Chambers of a senior for one year and passing of an Examination in the Law of Pleading and the Ethics of the Profession. And in addition
(c) (i) in the case of a person who wishes to take the Sanad of an Advocate (O.S.) the passing of an Examination in High Court Rules (Original Side).
