Supreme Court of India legal education initiatives

Overview

Chief Justice of India Surya Kant has initiated several programs aimed at enhancing legal education and engagement with the next generation of legal professionals.

In early September 2026, the Supreme Court of India announced a monthly lecture series themed ‘One important idea. Every month.’ This initiative is designed to facilitate dialogue between eminent jurists and young advocates or students through recorded and livestreamed sessions. The Court also proposed the ‘Supreme Court Nyaya Shiksha Samman,’ an annual award to recognize excellence in legal education.

Following this announcement, Chief Justice Surya Kant conducted an unscripted open-house interaction with law students at Chanakya National Law University in Patna. During this session, the Chief Justice addressed topics such as the transparency of the Collegium system, rising law school fees, and the necessity of financial support for first-generation lawyers. He also reaffirmed the judiciary’s commitment to protecting the fundamental right to peaceful protest.
