To extend free advice on questions of law and offer consultations on matters like property rights, Delhi University is hosting a legal aid clinic which will not be restricted only to the DU fraternity but open to all.
The clinics, which will also provide para-legal training to DU students and teachers, have been set up in association with the Delhi State Legal Services Authority (DSLSA) at DU's Gandhi Bhawan and Campus Law Centre.
"DSLSA has deputed an advocate to visit the clinics every Friday between 3 PM to 5 PM and take the queries of visitors. The clinics are not restricted just to the DU fraternity but are open to all," says Nisha Tyagi, Deputy Dean (Academics), Gandhi Bhawan
"When it comes to law, even the literate are illiterate as to the legal nitty-gritty. There are so many issues like property rights, harassment laws, domestic violence, etc., which a common man wishes to know about, but finds law books too heavy a dose," Tyagi said.
With a vision to provide legal aid and training to people, DSLSA has set up several such clinics in the past, including in jails. These clinics are manned by a senior professor, legal aid counsels and a team of para-legal volunteers.
