Dynamics and dimensions of legal education have undergone sea change, says Judge – The Hindu about SaiU Endowment Lecture School Of Law, Sai University, organises the S. Krishnamurti Endowment Lecture; legal philosopher Upendra Baxi participates in the programme through video conferencing Judge Sundar was the chief guest at the S. Krishnamurti Endowment Lecture in Law organised by School Of Law, Sai University, on “Law’s soft technology governing hard technologies?” delivered by legal philosopher Upendra Baxi via video conferencing in Chennai. “The dynamics and dimensions of legal education have undergone a sea change – I belong to the first batch of five year law course – and we never got to listen to jurists like Upendra Baxi in our age. It is wonderful that the whole culture has changed for the better,” he said. The dynamics and dimensions of legal education have undergone a sea change as he never got to listen to jurists of his time in 1983, said M. Sundar, Judge, Madras High Court, at an event in Chennai on Friday. Judge Sundar was the chief guest at the S. Krishnamurti Endowment Lecture in Law organised by School Of Law, Sai University, on “Law’s soft technology governing hard technologies?” delivered by legal philosopher Upendra Baxi via video conferencing in Chennai. Prof. Baxi, former Vice-Chancellor of Delhi University, explored the question whether law may be conceived as technology and if so what kind of technology it may be. He found the idea of law as an “enterprise” to subject human behaviour advocated by jurist Lon Fuller and the notion of “cultural lag” propounded by sociologist Charles Ogburn compellingly relevant today in understanding law as technology.

SAIU WILL BE A GLOBAL UNIVERSITY, SAYS K. V. RAMANI Sai University will be the first to provide a global education ecosystem in India, said K.V Ramani , Founder and Chancellor of SaiU, in an invigorating interview to The Hindu. In the interview, he talks about the array of scholars and faculty members at SaiU, the 106-acre net-zero campus, the futuristic UG and PG programs and much more. Mr. Ramani said he conceived of the university when he found that no education institute figured among the top 200 global institutions. The university’s governing council includes many Padma awardees. Mr. Ramani also said that, to begin with, around 250 to 300 students will be admitted in three undergraduate programs in liberal arts, science and technology, and one postgraduate program in law.The university will later on offer engineering, technology, management and eventually medicine courses. “The fee structure would be a fourth or a fifth of what students spend on going for an undergraduate education abroad,” Mr. Ramani said in the interview. Mr. Ramani further stated in the interview that the concept of a global university is doable, pointing to the growth of software services and the private healthcare sector, both of which had developed in the past 30 years. “In the IT sector we created an industry from zero. Today, when we go to fund a software company [in Western countries] they first ask us what is your India plan? If you don’t have an India plan you get a tie-up done and then come to us,” he remarked to The Hindu. Similarly, 35 years ago Indians went abroad for a bypass surgery. Today, India is sought by foreigners for healthcare. “We want to repeat the same magic in the education sector,” he said.
