If implemented, this will destroy the NLS’s defining national character. When I visited Chennai last year, eight years after graduation, my husband and I were graciously invited home by a Tamilian classmate’s parents. More than ever, our students need that understanding today. The NLS owes its genesis to visionaries from Karnataka who acknowledged the need for a national institution dedicated to excellence in legal education. I hope this debate sparks a broader conversation around domicile-based quotas, particularly in the context of institutions defined by their national character.
