Legal Awareness:- 

By Adv.  Sandigdha Mishra

Legal awareness lies at the base of any effort toward legal empowerment. 

Critical knowledge of legal provisions and processes, coupled with the skills to use this knowledge to realize rights and entitlements will empower people to demand justice, accountability and effective remedies at all levels. 

Legal awareness sometimes called Public legal education and civics education is the empowerment of individuals regarding issues involving the law.

 Legal awareness helps to promote consciousness of legal culture, participation in the formation of laws and the rule of law.

  • It comprises a range of activities intended to build public awareness and skills related to law and the justice system. This term also refers to the fields of practice and study concerned with those activities, and to a social and professional movement that advocates greater societal commitment to educating people about the law.

Anna-Marie Marshall explains that “in order to realize their rights, people need to take the initiative to articulate them. This initiative, in turn, depends on the availability and the relevance of legal schema to people confronting problems.”

  • This is because laws exist as part of a larger organizational ecosystem in which the interests of the organization, as well as those of the actors, become inextricably linked to the ways in which they are enacted.

  • It is different from the education of students in law school seeking a degree in law (which is often simply called “legal education”) and the continuing professional education of lawyers and judges (which is sometimes called “continuing legal education”).

  • Public legal education is principally aimed at people who are not lawyers, judges, or degree-seeking law students.
And it is important to have the legal awareness so that we can demand justice, understand the process and have effective remedies at all level.

In today’s world, ensuring the safety and well-being of children is a top priority. The Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, enacted in India in 2012, is a landmark law designed to protect children from sexual abuse and exploitation. It outlines specific offenses, establishes special courts for swift justice, and prioritizes the dignity and privacy of child victims. Yet, the effectiveness of this law hinges on one critical factor: awareness. For this reason, training school students about POCSO is not just beneficial—it’s essential. Schools must recognize the gravity of this need and act decisively. I recently watched the Telugu-language legal drama Court – State vs. A Nobody (2025), written and directed by Ram Jagadeesh, which compellingly emphasizes the urgency of the issue.
