Milestone Institute Of Law

Purpose of Legal Aid Clinics Legal Aid Clinics fulfill a dual mission: they not only bridge the gap between academic legal education and real-world practice for law students, but also extend vital legal support to underserved communities. Acknowledging law as a professional discipline, these clinics immerse students in practical legal work, while instilling a deep sense of social responsibility and commitment to justice for the most vulnerable segments of society.

About the Institute’s Legal Aid Centre At the Milestone Institute of Law, the Legal Aid Centre goes beyond being a practical training ground—it is envisioned as a hub for innovation and community engagement. Understanding the need for legal education that is both socially relevant and responsive to community needs, the institute established the Clinic to pioneer effective methods of legal education and public service. Through this initiative, legal training benefits not just future practitioners, but also those most in need of legal support.
