Jammu & Kashmir

In Jammu & Kashmir total 690 advocates are providing pro bono legal services to the marginalized section of the society.

Jammu and Kashmir, known for its unique cultural and geopolitical landscape, also prioritizes providing free legal aid services to ensure access to justice for its residents. However, due to its specific historical and political context, there are some distinctive features of the legal aid services in this region. One notable aspect is the role of the Jammu and Kashmir State Legal Services Authority (JKSLSA) in overseeing the implementation of legal aid programs and initiatives across the region. Given the complex socio-political environment in Jammu and Kashmir, legal aid services may focus not only on addressing individual legal needs but also on addressing broader issues related to human rights, conflict resolution, and access to justice in the context of the region's unique challenges.
