 Introduction
Free legal aid is the provision of free legal service in civil and criminal matter for those poor and
marginalized people who cannot afford the services of a lawyer for the conduct of the case or a legal
proceeding in any court, tribunal, or authority.

Legal Services include providing free legal aid to those weaker sections of the society who fall
within the purview of section 12 of Legal Services Authority Act 1987.

History of District Legal Services Authority (DLSA)

The Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987, was enacted to effectuate the constitutional mandate
enshrined under, Articles 14 and 39-A of the Constitution of India. The object is to provide ‘access to justice
for all’ disabilities. However, to enable the citizens to avail the opportunities under the Act in respect of
grant of free legal aid etc. It is necessary that they are made aware of their rights. Legal aid is an essential
part of the Administration of Justice. “Access to Justice for all” is the motto of the Authority. The goal is to
secure justice to the weaker sections of the society, particularly to the poor, downtrodden, socially
backward, women, children and handicapped etc. Such steps are needed to be taken to ensure that nobody
is deprived of an opportunity to seek justice merely for want of funds or lack of knowledge. To ensure this,
the Authority organize Legal Literacy and Awareness Camps in various parts.

In 1987 Legal Services Authorities Act was enacted to give a statutory base to legal aid programs
throughout the country on a uniform pattern. This Act was finally enforced on 9th of November 1995 after
certain amendments were introduced therein by the Amendments Act of 1994. Hon. Mr. Justice
R.N.Mishra the then Chief Justice of India played a key role in the enforcement of the Act.

District Legal Services Authority is constituted in every District to implement Legal Aid Programs
and Schemes in the District. The District Judge of the District is its ex-officio Chairman. Taluk Legal
Services Committees are also constituted for each of the Taluk in Bargarh District. Three Taluk Legal
Services Committees are working at Padmapur, Sohela and Barpali. To assist Chairman District Legal
Services Authority, Secretary, District Legal Services Authority appointed to see implementation of all
administrative instructions. The main objective of District Legal Services Authority and Taluk Legal

 Conclusion:

To conclude my report, I would say this internship was a great learning experience and a great opportunity.
Every day was a new experience. I got to practically understand the functioning of the court. This internship
helped me to enhance my knowledge of law and understand the ground reality of courts. I would have not
known many things if not for this internship. I can surely say, this internship made me a better law student
and a better human as well. I would be forever indebted to my college and DLSA for giving me this
opportunity.
