The Legal Aid and Awareness Committee (LAAC) of the National Law University, Jodhpur is a student-run body working to spread legal awareness among the masses and also provides free legal aid to the unprivileged section. Our initiatives are backed by an illustrious board of advisors including legal luminaries like Dr. Upendra Baxi (Prof., University of Warwick), Justice G.S. Singhvi (Former Judge, Supreme Court of India), and Mr. Pradeep S. Mehta (Secretary-General, CUTS International).
