Highlights Access to law and justice is the hallmark of any civilised and caring society—a basic necessity in a democracy governed by the rule of law, which is supreme. Access to Justice means being treated fairly according to the law and if you are not treated fairly, being able to get appropriate redress. It also means making access to law less complex and everyone having some basic understanding of their rights. Access to justice includes not only access to courts and legal redress mechanisms, but also good governance including transparency and accountability in the making of laws and process of their implementation and administration. The current justice delivery system is perceived as expensive, time-consuming, procedure-ridden, technical and difficult to comprehend, which prevents the poor and vulnerable groups from approaching the legal system to redress their grievances. Complex laws and procedures, an expensive system to deal with the huge backlog of cases, delays in delivering justice, and corruption are some of the challenges to accessing justice. The laws, legal institutions and processes need to be reformed so that they are more responsive to the needs of all citizens, particularly the vulnerable and marginalised groups and individuals in the society. There is an urgent need to create a cadre of conscientious and socially committed lawyers to transform the justice system. It is in this context, a programme to develop socially committed legal professionals assumes significance. The one-year, full time, Master’s degree programme in Law (LL.M) aims at developing legal professionals with greater skills, sensitivity and commitment to deliver basic, high quality legal services to the poor, marginalised and vulnerable groups in society.
