Abstract

According to a legendary proverb “A man without education is a strange animal.” Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar was of the opinion that education will liberate all and hence he called each and everyone to be educated, unite and fight against the odds of the society. The encyclopedia of education defines legal education as a ‘skill for human knowledge which is universally relevant to the lawyer’s art and which deserve special attention in educational institutions’. Former Justice Dada Dharmadhikari has rightly remarked that ‘legal education makes lawyer an expert who pleads for all like the doctor who prescribes for all, like the priest who preach for all and like the economist who plan for all’. It may really be termed as an art that enjoys the capability to make lawyer a best pleader for the public at large. Education does not mean mere “accumulation of information” or acquisition of degrees. It is the motivating force behind the character and personality of the student that mould him into a good human being. Education pulls out a person from ignorance, superstitions and narrow-minded selfishness and lead towards progress, liberation and social behavior respectively. Even an old Sanskrit proverb state that education which leads to liberation; liberation from ignorance which shrouds the mind; liberation from superstition which paralyses efforts; liberation from prejudice which blinds the vision of truth.
