Chandigarh

In the state of Chandigarh total 32 advocates are providing pro bono legal services to the marginalized section of the society.

Chandigarh, as a Union Territory, has its own unique approach to providing free legal aid services. Here are some special aspects of free legal aid in Chandigarh:

1. Chandigarh State Legal Services Authority (CSLSA): CSLSA is the governing body responsible for overseeing the implementation of legal aid programs in Chandigarh. It works to ensure that all residents, especially those who are economically or socially disadvantaged, have access to justice.

2. Special Initiatives for Vulnerable Groups: CSLSA implements special legal aid programs targeting vulnerable groups such as women, children, senior citizens, and persons with disabilities. These initiatives focus on providing legal support, counseling, and rehabilitation services tailored to the specific needs of these groups.

3. Collaboration with NGOs and Civil Society Organizations: CSLSA collaborates with non-governmental organizations (NGOs), civil society organizations, and other stakeholders to expand the reach and effectiveness of legal aid services. These partnerships help in reaching marginalized communities and addressing their legal needs effectively.
