ABOUT UTTAR PRADESH JUDICIAL REFORMS COUNCIL
The Uttar Pradesh Judicial Reforms Council is a non-profit organisation 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 organisation 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.
