The Pro Bono Club at Asian Law College is established under the Pro Bono Legal Services Scheme (also known as the Nyaya Bandhu Scheme), an initiative by the Department of Justice, Ministry of Law and Justice.
The club aims to create legal awareness literacy among the marginalized members of the society, conducting legal aid camps/clinics, providing legal consultancy and legal aid services to beneficiaries and assisting Pro-Bono Advocates registered under the Nyaya Bandhu platform among several other activities.
Pro Bono club aims to proactively engage its students associates in providing pro bono services to people in need of legal aid and also to provide assistance to the Lok Adalats and ADR tribunals for promoting equal access to justice. This club associated with the Pro Bono Legal Services scheme will give practical exposure to students and help them in becoming public-spirited practitioners, and at the same time, it will also provide much-needed assistance to pro bono advocates and help them in elevating the quantity and quality of their work.
