TISS Prayas Legal Fellow (Male) Recruitment 2026: 01 Vacancy

This role is ideal for male candidates holding an LLB degree and a Sanad for practicing law in Maharashtra. Strong communication skills in Marathi, English, and Hindi, along with proficiency in computer applications (MS-Office, email, internet), are essential. While not strictly mandatory, candidates with 2-3 years of legal practice are preferred. This position suits individuals passionate about socio-legal rehabilitation within the criminal justice system, particularly those familiar with the Palghar District, seeking a challenging contractual role.

Individuals without an LLB degree or the necessary Sanad for practicing in Maharashtra should not apply. Those unfamiliar with Marathi, English, or Hindi, or lacking basic computer skills, will find this role challenging. It is a contractual position for one year, prohibiting other employment during this period, making it unsuitable for those seeking permanent roles or concurrent work opportunities. The single vacancy also implies extremely high competition.

Working with TISS (Tata Institute of Social Sciences), a highly reputable Deemed University, offers significant academic and professional prestige. The Prayas project, initiated in 1990, provides invaluable experience in social justice and rehabilitation within the criminal justice system. Although the position is contractual and for a limited term, it offers a strong foundation for a career in social work and legal aid, with potential for extension based on performance and funding availability. It's a niche role with a strong social impact component within a renowned institution.
