Legal Aid Committee

Aims & Objective

Legal Aid Clinics serve a dual purpose: they bridge the gap between theoretical legal education and practical experience for law students, and they provide much-needed legal services to the underprivileged. Recognizing that the study of law is a professional pursuit, these Clinics immerse students in the realities of the legal field while fostering a spirit of service towards the most vulnerable members of our society.

This initiative ensures that legal education benefits not only future lawyers but also the most disadvantaged members of society.
