A Study on Academic and Curricular Innovative and Best Practices Followed in Law Institutions

Abstract

Higher education has become an essential and a service of high demand, in the Global level across all Sectors, Organizations and Institutions. Higher education Institutions (HEIs) plays a vital role in developing and sharpening the resources. This generates the need for Assessment and Accreditation of HEIs, which leads to the growth of various private Agencies, collective HEIs Bodies and governmental Institutions which started benchmarking for ascertaining and assuring quality at different levels of higher education (AACSB, 1994). National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) is one among the Accreditation Agency in India for benchmarking the HEIs. This paper highlights the initiative of various Indian Law institutions that have submitted their Self Study Report to the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) which promote the concept of best practices benchmarking in India. It also sets the stage for a discussion of the identification, sustenance, dissemination and adaptation of best practices and of their transference from one system to the other.
