2 Legal Education in Nepal

1. The beginnings: the 1950s' Intermediate-in-Law at the Tri-Chandra campus (the I.L.B. era — the law teaching's first home); the Nepal Law Campus (the TU faculty's base: the B.L.-and- LL.B. lineage; the campus's Ramshah-path institution as the profession's nursery);2. The university expansion: the TU Faculty of Law's degree ladder (the LL.B., the LL.M., the doctoral line); the 1990s-2000s' private-and-community campuses (the law-school multiplication: the Kathmandu School of Law's pioneering B.A.LL.B. generation; the National Law College; the regional campuses); the new universities' entry (the Purbanchal-and-others' law faculties; the open-and-external modes); the integrated five-year B.A.LL.B. as the standard (this curriculum's own course);3. The education's quality debates: the clinical-legal-education movement (the moot courts, the legal-aid clinics — the student-practitioner's training); the theory-practice gap (the critique-and-reform); the Bar Council's entry-examinations (the licensing gate's educational function); the continuing-legal-education (the profession's post-entry learning);4. The current map (the honest survey): the public-and-private mix; the enrollment's scale; the specialization's beginnings (the corporate, environmental, IT-and-IP courses) — the education's growth-vs-quality tension as the recurring theme.
