These clinics work on social justice issues of vital importance.
The Law and Marginalisation Clinic, Centre for Justice, Law and Society (CJLS). The Law and Marginalisation Clinic at the Centre for Justice, Law and Society is an advocacy community outreach and legal aid initiative that brings together activists, movements, scholars, and community members. The goals of our clinic are decided by our collaborators and friends in the trans justice and SRHR movement. The Clinic’s legal aid initiative was established in 2013 in response to a growing demand for legal aid and capacity-building by transgender and gender-diverse persons.
Centre for Justice Law & Society (CJLS) is a multidisciplinary reservation center that seeks to bridge the gap between academia and activism and has spent over a decade dedicating its efforts to create spaces for learning to create awareness on issues of law and marginalization and advocate for radical policy changes through its pedagogical interventions. critically engages with contemporary issues at the intersection of law, justice, society, and marginalization in South Asia.
