Imphal, October 17 2023:
The prize distribution for the State level Competition 'Justa Causa 2022-Act Now' cum certificate distribution function for interning law students, jointly organised by District Legal Services Authority (DLSA), Imphal West and Manipur State Legal Services Authority (MASLSA), under the aegis of National Legal Services Authority (NALSA), was held at the conference hall of Lamphel Court Complex ADR Building, Lamphelpat on Monday.
The function was attended by High Court of Manipur Justice A Guneshwar Sharma; Imphal West District and Sessions Judge and DLSA, Imphal West chairperson Rk Memcha and MASLSA member secretary Alek Muivah as presidium members.
Speaking on the occasion, Justice Guneshwar informed that the state level competition was organised with the objective of training law students in various social issues and to help them gain experience.
He continued that the common people perceived legal services to be a scene where a judge is seated and the advocates of the case arguing for their respective clients.
However, legal service is an invisible boon.
There is a big difference between the information obtained from books and verbal speeches, and the field reports.
Thus, the importance of participating in a competition is huge, he said, while encouraging the students not to be disheartened on not winning the prices.
He then appealed to MASLSA to take the responsibility of holding the competition from next time onwards.
