About Us
Quasi-Legal Institute is an independent initiative committed to exposing the legal gray areas where power thrives unchallenged. We bridge legal theory with public service through rigorous research, education, and civic innovation. Our mission is to hold power accountable and promote democratic integrity by clarifying blurred legal boundaries—from legislative loopholes to regulatory blind spots.
Our Mission
We were founded on the principle that legality is not always justice. We illuminate how ambiguous legal practices can be manipulated to serve power instead of people. Our work aims to dismantle these practices through public-interest research and civic accountability tools.
Public Service & Integrity
Public service should be rooted in accountability, not applause. We recognize principled service, challenge performative governance, and expose power when it is detached from its democratic duty.
Guiding Principles
- We defend habeas corpus as protection from unchecked state power.
- We interpret the Constitution as a living document evolving with democratic demands.
- We uphold separation of powers as foundational to accountability and liberty.
- We champion access to public records and transparency as pillars of democratic integrity.
- We reject legal ambiguity as a cover for political corruption or economic exploitation.
Remote Work Expectations
1. Work Environment
We trust interns to maintain a remote setup that’s dependable and distraction-free, with shared access to our collaborative platforms (Google Drive, Zoom, Email). If any challenges arise, we’ll work together to find solutions.
2. Scheduling
Interns are encouraged to work flexibly and independently, while honoring agreed-upon meeting times and deadlines. We understand things come up—just keep us in the loop.
3. Communication & Support
This is a supportive space, not a rigid hierarchy. We ask for consistent updates and openness. If you're falling behind, we’d rather collaborate than reprimand.
