Delhi University Law Course derecognized, pass-outs in 2013-14 not eligible for enrolment Law students from the three centers of the Delhi University Law Faculty are staring at an uncertain future. In an unprecedented move, Bar Council of India (BCI), the apex regulatory body for law education and the legal profession in India, has decided to derecognize DU’s law course taught at its three centres, namely Campus Law Centre, Law Centre1 and Law Centre2. Despite having law degrees they cannot become advocates. This means students admitted in these centres from 2011-12 onwards won’t be eligible to be enrolled as advocates and can’t practice. In a letter sent to state bar councils accessed by Live Law on September 22, the Bar Council of India (BCI), which regulates legal education in the country, has asked them not to enroll them as advocates as the Law Faculty failed to obtain “extension of approval of affiliation” from BCI despite repeated reminders.
