Originally, the term legal literacy was used to refer to an aspect of professional legal education. To be legally literate meant that you were capable of reading and writing the legal arguments, briefs, opinions, judgments and legislation that contribute to the body of law. This is a “literal” definition of legal literacy as being “literate in the law”. Used in this sense, legal literacy is primarily a concern of legal writing programs in law schools that teach students to think, and communicate “like lawyers”. The right to free legal aid and speedy trial are guaranteed fundamental rights under Art 21.Art 39 A provides “equal justice” and “free legal aid”. In order to provide “the free legal” aid it is necessary to have well trained lawyers in the country. This is only possible if there are adequate number of law colleges with necessary infrastructure, good teacher and staff.
