Promoting Justice and Dispute Resolution
The Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) & Legal Aid Board serves as a crucial avenue for promoting mediation, arbitration, and conciliation. In today's fast-paced legal environment, resolving conflicts outside traditional courts is highly valued.
Additionally, our Legal Aid Clinic ensures that marginalized sections of society have access to free legal counseling. Students get hands-on experience by organizing legal literacy camps and participating in Lok Adalats.
- Training in Mediation, Negotiation, and Arbitration techniques.
- Free legal counseling services for the underprivileged.
- Organizing Legal Awareness and Literacy Camps in rural areas.
- Collaboration with the District Legal Services Authority (DLSA).
