Three Years Course (Unitary Course) for those who have obtained a graduationdegreeinArts,SocialSciences,Commerce,Literature,Science, Management, or in any other branch of knowledge, is suitable for Universities catering to students from rural and semiurban areas. In these local areas students generally undergo college education with the hopeofbetterprospectsforearningalivingthereafterastheyareeligible forallgovernmentserviceshavinggraduatedinsuchacourse.Incaseone isunabletogetemploymentintime,someofthestudentsenrollinLaw Courses with a hope of selfemployment. Law Schools wanting to serve this section of students may not have the facility of garnering huge resources to run an institution. Even state governments do not have enough resources to support many of such Institutions. With proper planning it would be possible to have a Law School with the proper infrastructureaccordingtothestandardslaiddownasfollows.Itmustbe kept in mind that a Law School with poor faculty and teachinglearning programcanonlyproducepoorlawyers,hencealleffortsmustbemade toobtainatleasttheminimumstandardasprescribedbelow: ____________________________________________
