We...The people...

A few of my batchmates have taken a new initiative to start with a new project to make their legal education more meaningful to be of some help to the society.

I must say its a novel idea but it has not been able to generate any inrerest right now. The beauty of the idea does not only lie in the intention behind it, but the way it is presented. There would be many who think the same way but need to be brought out of their shell.

When we think of legal aid from a law student's perspective, we cannot work without observing the South African and the NLS model of it, which has proved that such initiatives have never had mass appeal, they have always started as individual efforts and have been scoffed at in the beginning.

So, its no big deal to be misunderstood and cool to be laughed at, coz most of them who laugh haven't done anything worthwhile themselves.

This post is dedicated to Shruti and Lalita who had the initiative to voice their apprehensions regarding the same.

I would like to take this opportunity to request anyone who reads this post to suggest practical ways of how to go about the thing. Plz put your name at the end of the comment if U R an AILIAN. I'd really like to talk to you personally regarding the same.

THANX a LOT

P.S. - Read this speech of the President of India given on Seminar of Judicial Reforms, if you have the time.
