IDIA BIHAR is organizing a PIL COMPETITION.
ABOUT
Increasing Diversity By Increasing Access to Legal Education (IDIA) is a nationwide movement to empower underprivileged and marginalized communities by creating top-quality lawyers from within. Founded by legal academician, late Prof. (Dr.)Shamnad Basheer, it runs on the backbone of more than 600 passionate student volunteers spread across India. IDIA is premised on the notion that access to premier legal education empowers marginalized communities by creating exceptional lawyers and community leaders from within. Underprivileged and marginalized students in India lack equitable access to quality legal education. This can be traced to a lack of awareness about law as a career that can improve their lives; Extremely high fees and expenditure for the 5-year law degree and Lack of financial aid to students from low-income backgrounds. IDIA identifies underprivileged students with an aptitude for law and trains them for law entrance exams over a 1-2 year period. IDIA not only enables access to legal education it also fosters diversity at the leading law schools and enriches the very process of legal education.
