Law Minister Mr. Kiren Rijiju informed Lok Sabha that the Government through its Tele- Law initiative provides pre-litigation advice and consultation to the citizens through a cadre of Panel Lawyers via tele-video conferencing facilities available at the Common Service Centers and through Citizens’ Tele-Law Mobile Application. So far 876 Panel Lawyers have been on-boarded under Tele-Law.
He further stated that to maximize the benefits of Tele-Law to reach to the vulnerable sections of society, law students in particular and students in general are motivated to volunteer and register as Para legal Volunteers (PLVs) on the Citizens’ Tele-Law Mobile App.
He further emphasized that National Legal Service Authority (NALSA) conducts 3-week internship programme for law students during summer and winter period of the year. The objective of the internship programme is that law interns get a comprehensive idea of the working of the Legal Services Institutions and the legal services programmes with regional focus.
