Legal Aid Society

The Legal Aid Society, Campus Law Centre, University of Delhi, is a dedicated society whose avowed objective is to provide legal aid and assistance to people who cannot afford professional legal help. The society has been working tirelessly to reach out to the under privileged section of society through the provision of free legal aid and legal literacy programs in and around the campus in tune with the provisions of the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987. The society stood strong even during the pandemic where each and every member of the society was working day in and day out to provide some reliefs to those who were worst affected by it. The extent of the valuable contribution of the society has been made possible through the strenuous efforts put in by the students, professors and advocates who are inspired by the motto of National Legal Services Authority (NALSA)- ‘Access to Justice for all.”

Legal Services Clinic

Legal Services Clinic (LSC), Campus Law Centre was inaugurated by Hon’ble Mr. Justice A.K. Sikri (Former Judge, Supreme Court of India). LSC works under the aegis of Delhi State Legal Services Authority (DSLSA) to reach out to needy people and to give them legal assistance. A Legal Aid Counsel appointed by Central District Legal Services Authority (CDLSA) visits the clinic every Saturday from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm and is assisted by trained Para Legal Volunteers (PLVs) who also maintain and record the information and service provided by the clinic.

The sole objective of the clinic is to bridge the gap that exists between what the law promises to offer and the harsh realities of the legal world. It is medium for the students to avail the opportunity of not only applying their legal aptitude and judicial mind but also exposes them to the practicalities of the profession. Following the motto “access to justice for all ” LSC had addressed variety of issues.

The society is deeply committed towards its two main objectives; creating legal awareness and providing legal aid with the assistance of a lawyer at the Legal Services Clinic, Campus Law Centre. The legal aid society aims to disseminate legal information among those who cannot afford legal services by way of legal literacy programs in and around campus in consonance with the provisions of the Legal Services Authorities Act 1987.

From October 2019 to February 2020, the LSC addressed a wide variety of legal grievances, ranging from domestic violence matters to property-related disputes to sexual assault cases. (For more details, please refer to TABLE-1)

The LSC has been successful in providing free legal assistance because of the active participation of the PLVs in collaboration with the empanelled lawyers. By providing this opportunity of assisting the experienced lawyers, the LSC has proved to be a dynamic tool of learning for more than 50 PLVs by exposing them to the practicalities of the legal profession.
