Bedi referred to it during her inaugural speech at a seminar on "Community lawyering in India" organised by Symbiosis Law School in collaboration with the City University of New York (CUNY), School of Law's Community Legal Resource Network (CLRN) on Monday.
The website is for the weak who are suppressed or ignored by the police and youth can play a role in ensuring that they are heard, Bedi said. "Youth may work in spreading the message of this website, to make people aware of this as an option and helping in actual follow up of cases," she added. While Bedi has already formed youth groups in Noida, Gurgaon, Lucknow, she urged the law students of Symbiosis present for the function to initiate the movement in Pune.
Bedi presented a road map for law students where they can rate the local courts based on their performances, study various bills and suggest draft amendments in the same and be instrumental in framing the law, not just practicing it.
"Students should take up any one branch of law, study and research its application, impact, process, strengths and weaknesses and be an authority on the same," she said.
The one-day seminar also saw the presence of Heidi Henle, Mercedes Cano and Pilar Sanchez, New York City-based attorneys members, Orestes Rodriguez, director of office of self-represented, Supreme Court, Queens County and New York, Elsa Vazquez, psychologist and social worker with St Luke's Hospital in Pennsylvania, Brent Hurd, Professor of Communications at Indian Institute of Journalism and New Media and Fredrick Rooney, Director of CUNY School of Law.
