GNLU Annual Legal Services Forum

About GALSF

The GNLU Annual Legal Services Forum (GALSF) is the annual flagship event of the GNLU Legal Services Committee. The premise of the Annual Legal Forum is to connect and establish a foundation and a consortium of all Legal Aid and Services Committees across the nation, address pertinent socio–legal issues, and facilitate discussion, cooperation, and contribution. We seek to give a platform to all exemplary voices, Law Universities, NGOs, and Legal Services Authorities throughout India in order to achieve the goal of providing affordable and accessible legal services to the underprivileged sections of society and bridging the gap that hinders the fulfillment of the aforementioned goal, by sharing their distinctive experiences.

ABOUT 5TH GALSF

GNLU hosted the 5th GNLU Annual Legal Services Forum (GALSF) from March 29-31, 2024. This flagship event of the GNLU Legal Services Committee aimed at connecting Legal Aid and Services Committees nationwide, addressing key socio-legal issues through discussion and collaboration. The forum provides a platform for Law Universities, NGOs, and Legal Services Authorities to share experiences and work towards affordable legal and social services for underprivileged communities.

Last year's 5th GALSF was conducted on the theme of “Inclusive Justice: Building Sustainable Societies”, which featured a Mediation Competition, a Round Table Conference, and the GNLU LSC Annual Grant Presentation. The Mediation Competition focused on family laws, property issues, labour laws, and consumer matters, while the Grant Presentation highlighted the rights of domestic workers and street vendors through empirical research initiatives.

The coming forum is dedicated to addressing pressing issues in society by combining two vital components, a GNLU LSC Annual Grant Presentation and a Mediation Competition or Public Interest Litigation (PIL) drafting and Lok Adalat.
