About the Conference
The aim of the Conference is to provide a platform for students, researchers, academicians, legal practitioners and other stakeholders to add value to the existing bank of knowledge and ideas about the much warranted reforms in Pro Bono culture of India. Pro Bono Legal Services in India have mostly remained as an unorganized activity
taken up by individual lawyers, NGOs and law firms. Apart from that, Pro Bono services are also imparted selectively on those pressing concerns which receive attention from masses. This conference is
about protecting the illiterate, the unheard and the unfortunate members of this growing society, through a Legal Aid System where justice is available, accessible and affordable.
Eligibility
The Conference is open to academicians, students, researchers, practitioners, and other stakeholders interested in the subject.
