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. Furthermore, our focus extends to protecting the rights of the illiterate, the unheard, and the unfortunate segments of our society. We believe in building a robust Legal Aid System that not only addresses pressing concerns but also ensures a fair and just legal representation for those who need it the most. Join us in shaping the future of Pro Bono legal services in India, where our collective efforts can make a lasting impact on the lives of those who are underserved in our communities.
