Legal Aid Internship at Lok Nyay Seva Kendra, Delhi (Hybrid)

Lok Nyay Seva Kendra, the legal aid cell of Pyare Foundation, is inviting law students and fresh graduates to join its internship programme. This is a chance to work at the grassroots of access to justice, helping ordinary people, students, and economically weaker sections understand and claim their legal rights. If you care about public service and want practical exposure to legal aid alongside mentorship from working legal professionals, this internship gives you that on the ground experience.

Pyare Foundation is a registered nonprofit that has worked across health and hygiene, education, and environmental conservation since well before this initiative, operating at the grassroots in remote villages and urban communities across India. Lok Nyay Seva Kendra is its dedicated legal aid cell, set up on 3 August 2025 to spread legal awareness and make justice simpler and more accessible for marginalised communities.

The cell is guided by an advisory board that includes Dr. Anjali Thapliyal Kaul (President and Founder, Pyare Foundation), Dr. Neha Bahl (Professor, DME Law School), and Advocate Vivek Sharma (Legal Expert), with a legal cell and managerial cell of student and professional volunteers running its day to day programmes.

As an intern you will support the legal aid cell across its core work, which includes:

• Legal research, drafting, and case analysis on real matters handled by the cell.
• Free legal advice, support, and counselling for people who approach the Kendra.
• Awareness campaigns on issues such as POCSO, the POSH Act, juvenile justice, and menstrual health.
• Community outreach and legal awareness programmes, including workshops and interactive sessions held both online and offline.
• Helping the cell collaborate with law schools and social organisations.

You can expect direct mentorship from legal professionals and exposure to legal aid and access to justice initiatives that most classroom learning does not reach.

This internship is open to:

• Law students enrolled in 3 year (LLB) and 5 year (integrated) courses.
• Fresh law graduates interested in legal and social justice work.
• Anyone genuinely passionate about public service and community engagement.

Selected interns receive:

• Hands on exposure to legal aid and access to justice initiatives.
• Practical experience in legal research, drafting, and case analysis.
• Opportunities to lead and support community outreach and legal awareness programmes.
• Mentorship from practising legal professionals and members of the advisory board.
• An internship certificate on successful completion.

There is no fee to apply or participate. The official listing does not mention a stipend, so treat this as an experience and certificate based internship.
