Legal Aid Clinic, Jindal Global Law School Details
Legal Aid Clinic is a student run clinic and has been a part of Jindal Global Law School since its inception in 2009. It exists with the aim of bridging the gap between what law promises to offer and the ground reality of its applicability. The Clinic has separate groups focusing on basic rights such as right to education, right to health, right to information, etc. The team on Right to Education aims to educate, inform and promote "education as a right" to the public at large. Even though the law lays down sufficient provisions, that are needed for providing and attaining education as a right, there still exists some lapses and flaws in its implementation. The objective of the team is to bridge this parity by conducting empirical research and provide solutions through the means of various legal remedies. Similarly, the team on Right to Health, in addition to organizing awareness camps, collects raw information from targeted locations that include the Sonipat District Hospital, Chathera village, aanganwadis and other neighbouring areas. It is working on a nearby village to mould it as a ‘model village' in terms of access to health. The team on Right to Information is directly involved in safeguarding and preserving constitutional values in the state. The team is directly involved in promoting Swach Bharat Abhiyan in Jatheri village and has filed multiple RTI applications in locating cleanliness issues in the village. The initiative has filed many RTIs before the concerned educational authorities with a view to make the public education system robus in the Jatheri village near the University Campus.The Clinic also has a litigation wing which takes up cases on probono basis. The Clinic, in addition to the litigation wing, has a specialised team dealing with cases of Prevention of Child Sexual Offences (POCSO). This team was set with an aim to spread awareness among the children about sexual offences and about identification of offences.
