Tele-Law Service: How to Get an Appointment with a Panel Lawyer

How to Schedule an Appointment with a Panel Lawyer through Tele-Law Service

The Tele-Law service, initiated by the Ministry of Law and Justice, provides individuals with the opportunity to seek legal advice from qualified Panel Lawyers through Common Service Centres (CSCs). Scheduling an appointment with a Panel Lawyer is a straightforward process, facilitated by Para Legal Volunteers (PLVs) and Village Level Entrepreneurs (VLEs). Here’s how you can book an appointment and what you need to know.

Steps to Get an Appointment with a Panel Lawyer

Booking an appointment with a Panel Lawyer through the Tele-Law service involves a few simple steps:

Seek Assistance from PLV or VLE:

• Visit your nearest Common Service Centre (CSC) where a Para Legal Volunteer (PLV) or Village Level Entrepreneur (VLE) is available. They will assist you in the process of getting an appointment with a Panel Lawyer.

Registration and Documentation:

• The PLV or VLE will ask you to provide some important documents at the time of registration. These documents may include identification proof, relevant case papers, and any other documents necessary for your legal consultation.
• Ensure that you carry all required documents to facilitate a smooth registration process.

Appointment Scheduling:

• Once your case is registered, the PLV or VLE will schedule your appointment with a Panel Lawyer. Typically, the appointment is fixed for the next day after registration.
• The PLV or VLE will inform you of the date and time of your appointment, ensuring you are prepared for the consultation.

Importance of Carrying Important Documents

Carrying the necessary documents at the time of registration is crucial for several reasons:

Accurate Case Registration:

• Having the required documents ensures that your case is accurately registered and that the Panel Lawyer has all the information needed to provide effective legal advice.

Efficient Consultation:

• With all relevant documents in hand, the Panel Lawyer can review your case thoroughly and provide more precise and informed legal guidance.

Avoiding Delays:

• Bringing the necessary documents prevents any delays in the registration and appointment scheduling process, ensuring you receive timely legal support.

Role of PLVs and VLEs in Appointment Scheduling

PLVs and VLEs are instrumental in facilitating the appointment scheduling process:

Guidance and Support:
