How you can get involved
Young Professionals
Programme for Legal Empowerment
Sculpt yourself.
How do you start a legal intervention? What do legal institutions in a small town look like? How do you make justice happen? You want to createchange, but law school never gave you answers to these.
The YPPLE is designed for you: young legal professionals with the desire become powerful change agents.
Grow.
Our YPs build a holistic understanding of change making
through the law by intimately engaging with field
realities, strong mentorship by leaders and an
environment of care and love. New experiences push
them to grow both, personally and professionally.
In the last decade, CSJ has placed around 40 young
aspiring lawyers in its field areas

Build.
Each individual onboards an ongoing organisational journey to find something they can call their own; a particular sphere of law; a work profile; a social cause that they care about.
YPs bring their unique skill from their legal training to support our lawyers at the grassroots.
TESTIMONIALS
At a personal level, it has helped me realise what kindness and care can do to the world. I would wake up every day and think, “How do I approach law today so that the marginalised group I worked with is empowered?”
Abdullah Ghazali, YPPLE 2021
This experience affirmed my belief that lawyering extends far beyond courts – shifting power, challenging injustice, and fostering long-term change.
Tanvi Singh, YPPLE 2020
As a YP, I worked at the grassroots, witnessing the transformative power of the law firsthand. The experience was not only deeply enriching but also filled with fun, friendships, and invaluable life lessons.
Gatha GB, YPPLE 2020
Through immersive grassroots exposure, I learned how law can be a powerful tool for social change while working alongside marginalized communities. This journey expanded my worldview, reinforcing my commitment to access to justice and equitable legal systems.

Internships at CSJ are serious business. We spend a lot of time with interns in helping them learn through work. Interns contribute a lot by providing support and collaborating with the CSJ team. Keep an eye out for the many project-specific calls for interns we share.
We occasionally also take interns for providing general support. If you think you want to intern at CSJ, please write to us at internship.csj@gmail.com. Since our internships are work-intensive, we encourage only students who are in the third year of their university education to apply so that it is a meaningful experience for you.
