Abstract

The general lack of understanding about legal rights and responsibilities often makes it difficult for people to access justice and legal help. This community project seeks to boost legal knowledge through a well-organized program that educates individuals about the court system. The techniques used involve hands-on legal education sessions, sharing useful legal pamphlets, and having engaging discussions centered around easy-to-understand case examples. These activities were conducted at the local community level, involving people of different ages and educational experiences. The legal documents were gathered based on important laws and presented in simple language to aid comprehension. The outcomes show a notable improvement in participants’ understanding of how law impacts everyday life, their basic rights when dealing with legal situations, and their duties as citizens during judicial processes. Active participation and lively conversations throughout the sessions demonstrated the community’s keen interest in legal subjects. Additionally, the event helped create a shared understanding that the law is not just for lawyers but an essential part of daily civic engagement. In summary, direct legal education was effective in raising public legal knowledge and reinforcing legal awareness as a foundation for creating a fair and empowered society.
