Abstract
The interplay between law and poverty is intricate. Obstructions to justice reinforce poverty and marginalisation. Poverty can be viewed as both a cause and a result of exclusion from the rule of law. Against this backdrop, the Legal Empowerment of the Poor (LEP) has become highly relevant. It has been realised that poverty is not just related to income; the law can play a significant role in poverty reduction. The legal empowerment agenda considers law as a medium for the self-empowerment of poor people. The goal of Legal Empowerment of the Poor is to address the fundamental causes of exclusion, vulnerability, and poverty. This paper explores the Legal Empowerment of the poor, focusing on India.
