This book provides an in-depth analysis of the functioning and
challenges of the legal aid system in India. The legal aid system
was set up to promote the interests of the economically weaker
sections of society that did not have equitable access to judicial
systems. However, the system has been largely unsuccessful in
delivering justice. Drawing on empirical data from 18 states and 36
districts in India, the book highlights the institutional setbacks
that plague the legal aid system and urges us to take cognizance of
the hindrances faced by the beneficiaries in availing of these
services. It acknowledges the gaps that exist in the governance of
the legal aid system in India at the grassroots level and suggests
approaches and ways to address these roadblocks to deliver free,
swift, and economical access to justice to the poor legal aid
beneficiaries. An important critical study of the commitment and
competence of legal aid counsels in India, this volume will be an
essential read for scholars and researchers of law, Indian law,
constitutional law, political science, comparative law, law and
gender, and social work.
