Nlu Assam Legal Aid

The unit tries to facilitate access to justice for socially and economically disadvantaged people in society. It strives to become a bridge between the seeker of justice and the giver of justice in the state. The cell strives to provide free legal assistance to those in need, raise awareness of the law in society, promote the legal competence of the masses, and motivate people to resort to alternative dispute resolution. Parichay is an extension of the commitment of the National University of Legal Sciences to provide legal aid to fulfill the constitutional mandate under Article 39A of the Constitution of India. While the Government of Assam has assured that legal aid will be provided to all, an exercise of this magnitude requires the involvement of law schools and civil society,” said N.K. Chakrabarti, Vice-Chancellor of the National University of Legal Sciences. Parichay will assist lawyers in drafting appeals, conducting research on relevant legal issues, assisting in the training of lawyers and paralegals, and producing materials on the functioning of immigration courts. Law students will work with lawyers to ensure they are able to file effective appeals in immigration courts. Parichay will also work with civil society to provide legal assistance to communities,” the statement said. The aim of the cell is to act in cooperation with the District Legal Services Department, NGOs, the police, the Gram Panchayat, schools, etc., to carry out large-scale legal service activities with a wider social scope. The scope of CCLELAC`s activities includes the provision of legal assistance through the Legal Aid Clinic, the performance of plays (Nukkad Natak), the organization of legal awareness and education camps, prison visits, the conduct of legal research, the distribution of legal awareness materials, the implementation of training programs, etc. The Assam National University of Law has a strong contingent of experienced, dedicated and qualified permanent faculty, with a mix of older and younger teachers. In order to provide specialized learning, respected experts and academics are invited to lecture on cutting-edge knowledge related to various aspects of the legal profession.

The Assam Judicial Academy is located on the university campus, a unique legal education experience in which the judicial academy and the university coexist in the same district. The university has established several centers to promote advanced legal studies and research. The centers were created by the University with the intention of addressing social law issues and challenges with challenges with a particular focus on the Northeast region. The centres are actively involved in the organisation of seminars, conferences, training programmes and research projects on research areas/target groups relevant to North East India. His NALSAR counterpart, Faizan Mustafa, said: “Under the NRC, the lack of effective legal aid would mean that many people would become stateless without due process. Innovative cooperation such as Parichay is essential to prevent such a humanitarian crisis.

The university deals intensively with a variety of social law issues, which is reflected in the publication of journals, namely NLUA Law and Policy Review; NLUA Law Review; Journal of Enviro-Legal Research and Advocacy, Journal for Disability Studies and Policy Review, Child Rights Law and Policy Review, Journal of Sports Law, Policy and Governance, Journal of Corporate Law and Policy Research, etc. The University also publishes a bi-monthly newsletter, “Lex Terra”, a quarterly newsletter; “The Green Advocate” and “Nyayalok”, a biannual newsletter.
