My experience of working with Sahyog's Research Assistants was enriching. I found their assistance to be timely and backed by meticulous research.
“SAHYOG is a great platform for getting legal minds together for a common good. It is beneficial for both law students, who get to work on real time problems, and lawyers, who are constantly in need of good researchers. I wish it all the success in the future!”
The research assistants allocated to me by SAHYOG were extremely well equipped to take on the heavy research work and even prepare high quality preliminary drafts/ first drafts which proved to be quite useful. I was impressed with their understanding of criminal law, since it helped in discussing complex issues and developing arguments for the pro bono cases we worked on as a Team. These efforts of SAHYOG certainly increase the quality of pro bono work being carried out by various organisations and individual lawyers. Therefore, I strongly believe that this initiative of SAHYOG must be encouraged and continued going forward. I look forward to this continued association of SAYOG.
"The SAHYOG project provides a great bridge between smart and dedicated students who want to work towards amplifying access to justice and human rights work that requires critical and timely research. It is great that law students have come up with this project and I think a lot of students as well as lawyers will benefit from this unique initiative. I have found the turnaround time with the students to be very quick and have got useful and good research."
“Rainbow Warriors and Goyant Kollso Naka are very grateful for all the research done by the Sahyog Legal Research Cell of NUJS College. Even though we have been working long distance, our Sahyog team has been very prompt and thorough with their research. We look forward to continuing our collaboration and hopefully in the near future meeting face to face.”
“I was extremely happy to get support from the Sahyog team member Rajarshi Roy in drafting a bail application for a labourer at a construction site accused of offence under Section 408/411/34 IPC in District Court Saket, Delhi. Rajarshi was able to produce an excellent draft overnight and we managed to file the bail application in the morning on 09.12.2019 and secure the bail by afternoon. Team Sahyog is a novel venture in the legal aid movement by providing quick and quality support to issues and people in need. Keep up the good work.”
“The SAHYOG team provided research support on an assignment pertaining to laws relating to sexual harassment and sexual abuse in workplaces and educational institutions. Today, I myself have co-founded a non-profit initiative “Rohaa” with Vishnu Shriram, an alumnus of NUJS, and both Vishnu and I admire SAHYOG’s support. Working with the SAHYOG team has been enriching. Their commitment to the project right from filing RTIs, undertaking challenging research, attending long calls and timely task-completion is impressive. The work related to challenging key provisions of socially sensitive legislation, and the team was both sincere and passionate in their approach to the issues. At a time where well paying internships with law firms and corporates is the norm, SAHYOG’s concept of providing legal research for a cause, is truly refreshing. The fact that their team balances work with their demanding academic commitments, is laudable. Wishing them the best!”
“Our experience with SAHYOG has been amazing. They respond promptly to the research requests. The research assistants are not only adept at research skills but are also keen learners. They interact and ask questions in order to better understand the research topic assigned. They follow guidelines and deadlines given to them. We have been very happy and completely satisfied by their performance. The Research notes prepared by them and the reference material collated by the research assistants reflected great precision in content and presentation of information. The research was found to be of a very high caliber and extremely useful. We look forward to continuing our association with them. Kudos to the team!”
A blend of professionalism, efficiency and genuine interest in the project assigned makes the SAHYOG team stand out. We, at iProbono, hope to continue working with this dedicated group of students at SAHYOG.
