Abstract
The author explores a system of legal aid that will work towards alleviating the inaccessibility of the legal system that has pervaded India since its colonial past. This inaccessibility in terms of jargon and process is further exacerbated by the dialectic system of justice. In exploring the triangulation of justice through trigonometric analysis, Mitra underscores that the dialectic process is a clear interaction of systemic need, further highlighting the need for a legal aid strategy. The arguments for legal aid can be based on welfare under Article 39A of the Constitution, on due process under Articles 21 and 22 of the Constitution, and thirdly, as the author argues as a dialectic systemic need. To work towards this systemic rationale for legal aid the author argues the need for a legal literacy programme shall try to make two sections of the people nearer so that conflict-management can be easier.
