The Asian Law College, Noida has established the Pro Bono Club under the Pro Bono Legal Services Scheme (also known as the Nyaya Bandhu Scheme), an initiative by the Department of Justice, Ministry of Law & Justice. The Club aims to create legal awareness and legal literacy among the marginalised members of society by conducting legal aid camps and 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.
The Pro Bono Club aims to proactively engage its student associates in providing pro bono services to people in need of legal aid, and to provide assistance to Lok Adalats and ADR Tribunals in promoting equal access to justice. This Club, associated with the Pro Bono Legal Services Scheme, will provide practical exposure to students and assist them in becoming public-spirited legal practitioners. At the same time, it will provide much-needed support to Pro Bono Advocates, helping them enhance both the quantity and quality of their work.
