Urgent Need of Law Reform and Access to Free Legal Aid
About the Event
India Justice Foundation - IJF organizes a seminar on the "Urgent Need of Law Reform and Access to Free Legal Aid" in Bangalore, India. Why we need law reform "Many laws continue to emphasize unnecessary state intervention. However, this is not the only angle to law reform. Even if the 1991 reforms had not happened, the legal system in India would come across as unsatisfactory and inefficient. Legal reform involves essentially two components, law reform and judicial reform. Law reform means changes in laws, while judicial reform refers more to the procedural aspect, that is, issues of reducing delays and speeding up dispute resolution." -Â Bibek DebroyElements of Law Reform There are several elements to law reform.- There are old and dysfunctional statutes which need to be junked. Sometimes, an entire statute cannot be junked, but dysfunctional and old sections can be scrapped.
- Despite the large number of statutes, there are areas where the necessary law does not exist in India today.
- There is over-legislation and unnecessary state intervention, both in statutory law and administrative law.
- Dispute resolution needs to be speeded up.
