FROM THE CHAIRMAN'S DESK
Despite the elite ambitions to create a superstructure of enlightened democracy through the ideals of optimum justice, I believe in building sustainable shelters to protect against day-to-day violations of dignified human existence. One can “help” without a charity or serve without ranks, all that matters is to acknowledge humanness of every soul. Let us try everyday-succeed someday or fail some other but learning must not be lost. During the last two years of graduation at National Law University Odisha, I discovered that Power of legal centers is often underrated. To defend the rights (both fundamental or legal) of people who cannot afford a lawyer with expertise is itself a platinum opportunity. There are specialists working in their local communities to uphold justice and advance equality, but to connect the client with an expert is an absolute necessity. Youth should always be actuated to give it back to society in ways they can best deliver. Hence Counsels’ Cottage strives to create an umbrella for the legal fraternity nationwide to promote unity and observe a social change. Because when expertise meets intellectuality, it not only strengthens the fraternity but also upholds the principle of humanity.
