ABOUT IDIA
Increasing Diversity by Increasing Access to Legal Education (IDIA) started as a student-run movement in 2010 from West Bengal National University of Juridical Sciences. Founded by Prof. (Dr.) Shamnad Basheer, the movement seeks to empower underprivileged students and help them transform into leading lawyers and community advocates by giving them access to quality legal education. This competition is being organized by the IDIA Kerala Chapter which is run by the students of the National University of Advanced Legal Studies, Kochi.
