Mr Mahesh Vaswani has been kind enough to send us a copy of the writ petitions filed before the Bombay High Court challenging the Age bar for entering into Law Schools. This blog has earlier talked about this case here.
The petition is available here and the synopsis here.
I am also given to understand that the next hearing of the case is on the 17th of June and I would probably be there to see it for myself. Would put in an update then.
I wish I could aptly descibe in words to the readers as to my experience at Law School, but I can’t. There are times when I can answer questions, but there are others when despite knowing the answer you wouldn’t want to give it out (and where’s my modesty gone?). For those who want to know how Law school works, this video gives a good picture.

I also would suggest readers to visit A Public Defender on the 10 things you don’t learn at law school.

Manojna just tells me about a paper by Duncan Kennedy on “Legal Education as Training for Hierarchy” that gives a good idea of how law schools work. The link for the paper is here.
