BEYOND THE COURTROOM

The Faculty of Law contributes to the National Legal Services Authority’s Para-Legal Volunteers Scheme by recruiting students for it. The students are first trained by experts from various fields of law, such as family, labour, consumer protection, criminal procedure, motor vehicle accidents and other legislations. The students then help create legal awareness and provide legal aid to people from every strata of society through initiatives such traffic awareness campaigns, door-to-door campaigns and street plays. The paralegal volunteers’ work for the Delhi State Legal Services Authority in connection with a case regarding manual scavenging filed by an NGO was highly appreciated by the Delhi High Court.
