Hear It From Them
Here's what our supporters, Nyaaya Mitras, and communities have to say about our work:
"The work of Para Legal Volunteers embodies the spirit of service and commitment to legal empowerment. They are the crucial connectors in ensuring legal awareness in rural or underserved areas."
Sri Shashidhara Shetty
Member Secretary, Karnataka State Legal Services Authority
"My experience in working with (OutLawed India’s Nyaaya Mitra) Mercy has been excellent - she has always been on top of the case, always aware of the facts and the instructions from the clients. She prepared a very good case note to help us understand the facts before actually giving any advice/assistance, which is always very helpful to us."
Abhishek Sriram
Advocate at Kanāda Legal
"I had a property issue and one of my friends introduced me to OutLawed India. With their help, I was able to start the legal process for the property issue, and it was very useful for me. From being a client of a Nyaaya Mitra, I have become a Nyaaya Mitra myself! After this training, I now know how to help people in my community who need support, how to assist with documents, how to guide people, and how to provide counselling to the concerned person."

"I have been a Nyaaya Mitra for the past two years. I am working within my community after receiving legal training from OutLawed India. I am learning how the law works and I am proud to help people within my community get justice. I have worked on POCSO case, cheque bounce case, securing government benefits, and procuring documentation. I feel happy conducting legal clinics and helping people, and OutLawed India Foundation has supported me in this. Thank you, OutLawed India!"
