What is Para-Legal Volunteers (PLVs)?
Para-Legal Volunteers (PLVs) are trained volunteers who provide basic legal assistance and information to people, especially those who are marginalized or disadvantaged. They act as a bridge between the community and the formal legal system.
Historical Background
The concept of PLVs has been promoted by various organizations and government agencies to improve access to justice for all. The National Legal Services Authority (NALSA) plays a key role in training and deploying PLVs across the country.
