Law School Insights – The cost of a legal education
In 2013, we ran a column on the costs associated with a legal education at one of the country’s National Law Universities. At an average annual cost of 1.6 lakh (excluding personal expenses), the five-year course would have meant spending around ten lakhs in total. This was, and is, no small sum especially if you add the 11% interest rate that most educational loans attract. Two years later, the situation only seems to have become worse.
