Despite ardent wish to attend the Inaugural Session and to address the session: “Vision & Mission of SLSA Rajasthan for early & effective Access to Legal Aid in Police Station, Jails, Courts”, I feel myself unable to be there due to my pre-occupations. It is a matter of great pleasure that such a Training workshop is being organised for the legal aid advocates appointed under the model scheme for Remand & Bail Lawyers as well as Panel Lawyers appointed under NALSA’s Retainer Lawyers Scheme. I am confident, the Team of (DLSA) Jodhpur and SLSA Rajasthan would deliberate in the direction to contribute constructively in maintaining perception, with which the Training workshop through a continuing legal education programme is being organized, beyond expectations; and have been pleading for the cause of justice in various ways and pleasantly. Organizing a Legal Refresher Course on the subject is an event, when each member of both the Teams with acumen will be able to think over to do justice to the participants by rendering services for better administration of justice.
