Free legal aid in India in my opinion is one of the most transparent ways to get access to justice. It has not only helped people who are in need of justice but also budding lawyers who are starting their career in litigation. In my personal experience during my internship I have seen many advocates under the Delhi Legal State Authority helping people promote legal awareness, have access to justice regardless of their financial situation. I’ve seen a lot of people appear in courts without any advocate beside them because they’ve not hired any due to their financial condition. In these situations the government has the provision to assign an advocate to help them further in their case. Young lawyers who are in need of work and experience, might look out for helping out or volunteer under the provisions for legal aid which in future will help them know more about how so many people are not able to get justice due to so many reasons! Legal aid in my opinion can be a valuable opportunity for new advocates.


It allows them to gain practical experience, build their reputation, and make a positive impact on their community while helping those in need who may not have access to legal representation. Freshers often work with legal aid organizations, clinics, or pro bono programs to provide affordable or free legal services to low-income individuals.This can be a great way to start a legal career while contributing to social justice. In conclusion, legal aid presents a significant opportunity for new advocates to kickstart their legal careers. It not only allows them to develop their skills and reputation but also provides a meaningful way to serve their community by offering affordable services to those in need. Embracing legal aid as an opportunity can be a win-win situation, benefiting both aspiring advocates and underserved individuals seeking legal assistance.
