About Us

The spirit of Article 39A of the Indian Constitution drives NLIU-LAC, which strongly believes that law is pro bono public

he NLIU-Legal Aid Clinic (“LAC”), driven by the ethos of Article 39A of the Indian Constitution, has been established under the aegis of the National Legal Service Authority. It is a student-run initiative, which aims to provide free legal aid to the marginalized sections of the society. Our aim is to provide pro bono legal representation and advice to the weak and downtrodden. Additionally, we also organize various legal literacy workshops and training programmess to spread legal awareness to further the cause of legal literacy.

Our ancillary activities include Lok Adalat visits, participation and organisation of various capacity building programmes, organisation of legal literacy development initiatives for student community, legal awareness and data collection drives, Nukkad Natak

Note from faculty in charge

 
hrough our diverse range of initiatives, we have strived to bridge the gap between legal education and practical application while addressing the pressing legal needs of the underprivileged and marginalized communities. Over the past year, our dedicated team of students and empanelled advocates has worked tirelessly to provide legal assistance, guidance, and representation to individuals and groups who otherwise would have limited access to justice.
 
Our achievements in the past year include handling over 60 pro-bono cases under Project Saarthi, organizing Jan Sunwaii at Kekadiya village, Speed Mentoring sessions ar both rural and urban schools, Nukkad Nataks and several legal awareness drives throughout villages in and around Bhopal along with the 2nd NLIU-LAC Workshop and Training Programme that witnessed the participation of more than 90 students and faculty members. Through these endeavors, we have empowered countless individuals with knowledge about their rights and also assisted other institutes with setting up and running a legal aid clinics. 
 
None of these accomplishunents would have been possible without the unwavering support of our esteemed student members. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my entire team of Legal Aid Clinic, which under the leadership of the Ms. Payal Dubey (Convener 2022-23) and Ms. Gaargi Singh (Co Convener 2022-23), has worked hard to achieve its objectives. I also sincerely hope and wish that the Legal Aid Clinic’s journey continues and that it further serves the legal needs of society’s
