During my internship at the District Legal Services Authority (DLSA), I assisted in spreading legal awareness through outreach programs and legal aid camps. I had the opportunity to observe proceedings like Lok Adalats and understand the functioning of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms. I was involved in drafting case briefs, maintaining files, and supporting panel lawyers during legal aid initiatives. This internship provided me with hands-on exposure to how free legal services are delivered to underprivileged sections of society. Overall, it deepened my understanding of the justice delivery system at the grassroots level.
