Articles 14 and 22(1) of the Constitution also make it obligatory for the State to ensure equality before law and a legal system which promotes justice on the basis of equal opportunity to all.

Lawyers On Wheels

Lawyers on wheels is a unique initiative of LJSL. The institute has its own mini bus for Lawyers on Wheels- ‘Nyay Tamara Ghar Aangane’. Under this initiative

the students go to different villages and slums with faculty and lawyers to understand the actual socio legal problems of the society. Students try to solve the basic legal problems with the help of lawyers and faculty and try to provide free legal solution of the problem at their doorstep, for further free legal aid they can come to our permanent Legal Aid Clinic at the college. It serves two important purposes where students can learn the actual socio legal problems and it can provide free legal aid to the under privileged. Students also provide awareness about various relevant Laws and government schemes to the villagers.
