National Legal Services Day

♦ National Legal Services Day is observed every year on November 9 to mark the commencement of the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987 which came into force on the same day in 1995.

♦ This day was established by the Supreme Court as part of its proactive role in promoting access to justice.

♦ The day emphasizes empowering marginalised communities, highlighting the importance of equal access to justice, and advocating that no one should be deprived of legal representation due to economic disadvantages.
