Centre For Social Justice: Young Professionals Programme For Legal Empowerment [Last Date April 10, 2024]

CSJ has fostered and developed the Young Professionals Programme for Legal Empowerment. It has had ten successful years now.

As part of the YPPLE, young law grads are placed in the field and where they learn the realities of grassroots, the local culture, the sources of vulnerabilities and power. Along the way they learn a lot about themselves.

As part of the YPPLE, people grow professionally and personally.

The program enables young minds to pursue their true interests. Each individual finds something that they can call their own, be it: a particular sphere of law, a work profile, or a social cause they care about.

Still on the fence? They also get to travel a lot. You can find a whole lot more in the attached video and brochure.

The applications for the YPPLE are now open.

The last date to apply is April 10, 2024. You can apply from the form here.

Centre for Social Justice

Centre for Social Justice is a socio-legal, Non-Governmental Organization (NGO). CSJ is one of the first organisations of its kind in India that uses the judicial system to fight for the rights of marginalised people. We intervene at various points: from providing legal aid, helping document complaints and leading fact-findings, filing cases, contacting relevant authorities, pushing entitlement claims, spreading legal awareness, public advocacy campaigns, to training young lawyers and paralegals, identifying violations of civil liberties and serving as a watchdog for human rights abuses.

CSJ first began operating through a network of law centres across Gujarat in 1993. Today, CSJ has expanded to several states, including Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Assam, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka and responds to nearly 3,000 cases a year.

Our centres consist of lawyers, paralegals and researchers who are passionate about making a difference. They affect change every day ensuring minorities like women, queer people, Dalits, tribals and other socially vulnerable groups get access to the rights guaranteed to them.
