About LFR

LFR, an initiative started in 2021, aims to reform the Indian legal education system through different pedagogies, law school capacity building, and building new generation leaders in law schools. We aim to support all stakeholders in the legal ecosystem, including law schools, law students, faculty, legal professionals, and the general public.

LFR has supported thousands of aspiring legal professionals from over 650 law schools, particularly those from under-resourced law schools, by providing them with essential tools and resources. We conduct sessions around skill training, foundational learning, research guidance, career counselling, peer learning, mental health support, and exposure on emerging legal careers.

Our long-term goal is to build an effective bridge, reducing the gap between well-resourced and under-resourced law schools. We strive to cultivate socially responsible and skilled legal professionals, expand access to diverse career opportunities, and enhance access to quality legal services for citizens across the country.
