Fellowship For Access To Justice in Rural Rajasthan- Part Of The Constitutional Values Fellowship Of The School For Democracy (Rural Lawyers Cluster)

This is a call for applications for a lawyer/s from historically marginalised communities who are interested in the institutions of the delivery of justice, especially in rural India. The applicant will work in selected parts of rural Rajasthan at a trial court level, on a full-time basis. The cluster will aim to build a network of lawyers in rural Rajasthan - mainly belonging to dalit, adivasi, women, nomadic, and minority communities. Through the fellows, the cluster aims to continuously engage with rural trial court lawyers, build upon their experience, and build a network to foster constitutional values in the pursuit of justice. Through this network, there will also be an attempt to help remove barriers to access to justice for the marginalised communities themselves . The fellows will be based in Rajasthan, and will be expected to travel regularly for about 12-15 days a month to build a network, and to help organise meetings along with four other fellows and a co-ordinator.
