About YL Cube
The YL Cube is an initiative to motivate and inspire young students on various socio-legal themes and to guide them to traverse the righteous path throughout the endeavour of their personal and professional lives by having a direct interaction and by the exchange of views with experienced legal minds and researching, conceptualizing, and correspondingly reporting according to the selected avenues given below. The law fraternity, one of the country’s largest professional families, nourishes some of the societal stalwarts, but the question remains whether it nourishes the ‘common man’.
Established in 2021, carrying ahead the work of its predecessor organisation that functioned from 2018, we intend to supplement law schools to provide quality academic access to institutionally-vulnerable students and to bridge the gap between haves and have-nots of legal academia. It aspires to facilitate social sensitivity in students and professionals alike, thereby inclining the mindset towards the constructive development of society and the nation.
About Opportunity
After conducting successful Summer Schools from last many years, YLcube Foundation has hosted students from more than 100 law schools across India; where they undertook more than 50 research projects in the fields of the intersection of law and other facets of society including politics, sociology, policy, psychology, and philosophy. We bring back the opportunity to the students in the summer of 2024. The students would have a unique opportunity to use their legal acumen, expertise, and experience through this program. Familiarity with the practicalities and complexities of law would broaden students’ knowledge and benefit them in the long run from a professional standpoint.
