Legal Aid Clinics

Overview

GNLU has established a 3 distinct Legal Aid Clinic in the GNLU Campus, Koba Village, and Sabarmati Prison where the student volunteers interact with the villagers on a periodic basis regarding socio-legal issues and provide them with well-researched solutions or assist them through pro-bono lawyers engaged by the committee.

Objective

In furtherance of the long-standing commitment of the Legal Services Committee at GNLU towards providing quality Legal Aid services, the clinics have been established to provide assistance in relation to sociolegal issues or disputes faced by the people in the village. These clinics aim to act as an interactive, convenient and trustworthy channel for legal assistance for the people through which they can get authentic well-researched solutions to their sociolegal issues and can also engage pro-bono lawyers for their legal disputes.
