CLPR - Centre for Law and Policy Research

CLPR was established to reimagine and reshape public interest lawyering in India for the 21st century.

First, we understand legal problems in their wider public policy context, and develop constructive solutions using rigorous social science research and analysis.

Secondly, we develop and advance solutions that are grounded in core constitutional and liberal human rights values, which our clients identify to be in their interests.

Thirdly, we are committed to an advocacy strategy that delivers maximal impact through strategic litigation in the lower courts, High Courts and the Supreme Court. We believe in coalition building with civil society groups, engagement in the pre-legislative consultation process and intervention and monitoring in the executive implementation process.

In the last few years, CLPR has made significant public interest interventions in the areas of disability discrimination, consumer rights, and the right to health, the right to education, urban planning and environmental law.
