The Legal Aid Clinic has been a part of Faculty of Juridical Sciences since 2015. The Clinic exists with the sole aim of bridging the gap between what law promises to offer and the actual realities of law. It follows the model of good governance through citizen participation, which believes that good governance will come about only when citizens at all levels of our democracy effectively participate.
The Legal Aid Clinic seeks to impart practical knowledge of law to students. The aim of starting the Clinic was not only to bring future lawyers face to face with the harsh realities of law, but also by giving ourselves the opportunity to use and implement the law even before entering the professional world.
Since 2015, the members of the Clinic have actively participated/organized various awareness creating events and engaged effectively with the rural communities. This is done by building a rapport with the communities, by understanding their concerns, after which they are connected to the district authorities through the processes of law.
Additionally, a lot of LAC’s activities concern promotion of legal awareness in the society. For this, the members of the Clinic along with other students regularly conduct Legal Literacy Programmes (LLPs) and street plays for different audiences. These LLPs are conducted for adolescents in several places in the city.
Moreover, LAC has its own newsletter that explains legal issues to the lay man. We distribute these newsletters all across city to generate legal awareness.
