Knowledge of law is power and helps self-relation, India, the largest democracy in the world, has an emergent need for generating awareness of rights as knowledge so that people live in consonance with the true dictates of democracy and rule of law. Legal education / literacy are commonly understood as knowing the primary levels in law. When citizens, particularly marginalized or underprivileged groups, know what the law has to offer them, they can recognize and challenge injustices much more forcefully. Legal awareness is a process of self and social empowerment that moves women and children’s and farmers and others not only to activate the rights they do have, but to redefine and reshape that inadequate ones as expressed in law and in practice. Legal Awareness of higher quality of life, universalization of aspirations, and enhanced senses of social justice, all together helped to articulate the feeling of inalienable human rights. Now people are thinking about the issues in terms of human rights perspectives. In this article I explore the connection between the continuing commitment of Clinical Legal Education and Legal Awareness to the profession of legal services to those unable to otherwise afford them and the nations of professionalism traditionally adopted by the organized legal profession. The paper attempts to through some light on importance of Clinical Legal Education and Legal Awareness of Law Colleges in society.
