UTTAR PRADESH JUDICIAL REFORMS COUNCIL

The Uttar Pradesh Judicial Reforms Council is a non-profit organization working under the aegis
of the National Judicial Reforms Council, WICCI. Established in March 2023, our council is
committed to identifying and addressing gaps in the judicial system, with a focus on expediting
the delivery of justice. We are a women-led organization working with the objective to bring
judicial reforms to the existing Indian Judicial System. The idea behind setting up of the council was
the upliftment of the deprived sections of the society with the help of legal reforms. We aim to monitor
the implementation of laws, advocate for economic equality among all, promotion of fair and just
practices and realization of potential of all.

WORK DONE BY THE COUNCIL SINCE ITS INCEPTION

The UPJRC has conducted various webinars, panel discussions and awareness drives since its
inception. We work tirelessly to advocate for the needs of the citizens, empower them and create
a more equitable world for them. One of our major roles is to ensure that the justice system is
accessible to everyone, regardless of income or social status. We conduct events, webinars, and
panel discussions to guide those who are facing domestic violence, sexual harassment,
discrimination and violation of their rights; and create awareness among them. In addition to
these activities, we also promote education and leadership among the citizens of the country. We
provide opportunities to develop their skills, gain knowledge, and network with others. We also
encourage them to take on leadership roles in the organization and improve their skills. In the
past year, we hosted a successful webinar focusing on LLM for law students and the
opportunities relating to it. We are also engaged in posting newsletters and inviting open
discussions on various contemporary legal issues of importance and thereby strive to constantly
implement and achieve the objectives for which the Council was formed.
