SC seeks input on 3-year practice norm for judicial exams

The Supreme Court of India is asking for opinions from all High Courts, National Law Universities, and other law schools about a rule that says law graduates need to practice law for at least three years before they can take the exam to become judges.

This rule was made last year to stop fresh law graduates from taking the exam.

Now, the court wants to know if this rule is fair, especially for people with disabilities who might have a hard time getting hired as lawyers.

The court also wants to make sure the rules are the same for everyone and is planning to get feedback from students and institutions to decide if any changes should be made.
