Lawyers for lawyers was given rise in 2020 with the fervid idea of supporting and uplifting our fellow lawyers as well as the flourishing lawyers of India.
The during and after effects of covid pandemic hit the legal fraternity like a giant wave. Great deal of lawyers struggled a lot for even elementary livelihood. We feel that it is our social and moral devoir to help those who are in exigent circumstances.
In order to help the lawyers in need; we created this institution where all like-minded people can join their hands to support the present and future of our legal fraternity.
Lawyers for lawyers is a wide platform where we have tried to bring and connect like minded people to help those who are living a miserable life.
People suffered a lot in the pandemic period and there were times when even those lawyers were struggling who were running an apt practice let alone those who just started theirs.
We cinched that door to door delivery of ration was done cautiously with all safety measures taken into account. Lawyers for lawyers made sure no fellow was left alone in those miserable fixes.
A total sum of ₹4,00,000 was distributed amongst those who were unable to make ends meet. It was mutually decided that the names of those 500 people who were provided financial aid would not be disclosed to uphold their dignity.
There were students from different parts of our country, living in Delhi to become lawyers and had just spread their wings into the legal field. They were amongst those people who were severely stricken because of the pandemic. Lawyers for lawyers stood by them and helped them in coping with such a huge menace.
There was a time After the widespread of Covid- 19 when people were baffled. In order to spread awareness as well as to provide assistance we held free mask distribution activities for all; lawyers and for the people in and outside the court.The motto behind such drills was to provide masks for everyone disregarding the fact that they are from legal field or not, be it rickshaw pullers, hawkers, street vendors, guards or beggars. Every single person around the court premises were distributed free masks.
Near about 5000 masks were distributed.
We have set up a library to strengthen the legal fraternity , which is absolutely free of cost for everyone. It provides an apt atmosphere for the students who wish to become legal practitioners one day.
This library is open and fully functional from morning 6 am to 10 pm, seven days a week. This library is also for those who are practicing law and wish to achieve higher goals. At present 70- 80 students and a few lawyers are being benefited through the library.
The library runs book donation drives to provide for the underprivileged students. Students and lawyers there, can have access to good books and Mantu Patra, which is generally exclusively available but at the library, lawyers and students have a free ingress to it.
Initiative like Lawyers for lawyers is a step forward in empowering and shaping the future of litigation. We invite you all to affiliate with us and instigate an era of change. Every sponsorship, every volunteering from your side is a step forward in the direction of amelioration of our society.
