About CJP Legal Aid
Citizens for Justice and Peace — Defending democratic rights through accessible legal assistance.
Our Mission
CJP Legal Aid exists to ensure that no citizen is denied justice due to lack of resources or access to legal counsel. We believe that the right to legal representation is fundamental to democracy.
Through our network of volunteer advocates, we provide immediate, free, and confidential legal assistance to those facing arrests, detentions, FIRs, police notices, and other rights violations — particularly during times of civic unrest and democratic expression.
Our Vision
A society where every individual, regardless of their economic or social standing, has access to quality legal representation and knows their constitutional rights.
