Nyayika is a one-of-a-kind legal services initiative which provides quality professional legal services, both litigative and non-litigative, through trained lawyers and paralegals in its law centres. It addresses one the main barriers in access to quality legal services for people from the middle and lower income groups - the high fees of a lawyer - by providing its services for a fixed and affordable fee payable according to a payment schedule. It follows transparent processes, assures speedy disposal of cases and is accountable towards its clients. It follows a client friendly standardized operating procedure and a robust monitoring and information system across its centres to ensure its standards of quality and professionalism. Nyayika is operated by IDEAL Foundation for Social and Economic Development, a non-profit company registered under S. 25 of the Companies Act, 1956. It commenced operation in October 2013 and currently runs 8 law centres in 8 different districts of Gujarat.  

A book on Nyayika, Setting up Social Justice Law Firms: Experiences of Nyayika, will be released on 9thNovember 2014 by Prof. Madhav Menon, Chancellor, Guru Ghasidas Central University, Chhattisgarh.
