Call for Papers: 3rd NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON LEGAL EDUCATION, PROFESSION AND INTEGRATING PRO BONO CULTURE FOR BETTER ACCESS TO JUSTICE, APRIL 12 – 13, 2025
Organised By- INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY KHARAGPUR RAJIV GANDHI SCHOOL OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW PRO BONO CLUB
About the Conference:
The primary objective of our upcoming conference is to establish a dynamic platform that brings together students, researchers, academicians, legal practitioners, and other stockholders to contribute significantly to the ongoing discourse surrounding essential reforms in India’s Pro Bono culture. In India, Pro Bono Legal Services have traditionally been carried out in an unorganized manner by individual lawyers, NGOs, and law firms. The conference seeks to address this by fostering collaboration and discussions that will lead to a more structured and impactful Pro Bono legal framework. By providing a space for dialogue, we aim to catalyze positive changes that will make justice more available, accessible, and affordable for all members of our society.
