Law Department at the University of Kashmir

When people imagine law schools, they picture discipline, fairness, and a culture of inquiry. I entered the Law Department at the University of Kashmir in August 2022 with the same expectations.

As the entrance topper of the LL.B program, I believed I was stepping into a place that valued rigour and mentorship. What I found instead was a system that drained both curiosity and confidence.

In the beginning, I thought my experience would be one of learning from seasoned professors, attending court visits, and preparing for moots that would sharpen my legal skills.

Within weeks, the reality settled in. Classes were irregular. Teachers often skipped lectures. Students prepared for exams without guidance, relying more on borrowed notes than structured learning. The department offered little exposure to the real world of law.

For a professional course, the absence of professionalism was striking.
