CALL FOR PAPERS: 3rd NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON LEGAL EDUCATION, PROFESSION AND INTEGRATING PRO BONO CULTURE FOR BETTER ACCESS TO JUSTICE, NOVEMBER 8-9, 2025

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 stakeholders 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.

Eligibility:
The Conference is open to academicians, students, researchers, practitioners,
and other stakeholder interested in the subject.
