The Orientation Programme was inaugurated on 28th April, 2010 at Tis Hazari Courts by Hon'ble Mr. Justice Altamas Kabir, Judge Supreme Court of India and Executive Chairman, NALSA. In his presidential address Hon'ble Mr. Justice Altamas Kabir emphasized the need for a change in mind set of the legal aid lawyers who were required to think differently. His Lordship pointed out that legal aid should not be viewed as a work of charitable nature which nobody else wanted to do, but must be viewed as a constitutional and statutory right of a citizen to avail of legal aid on satisfying the eligibility criteria. Thus His Lordship advised the panel lawyers that they were fulfilling a statutory and constitutional duty when they opted for being empanelled as legal aid lawyers. His Lordship propounded "a legal aid theory" comprising of SCC i.e. Sensitization, Conscientization (being aware of the needs of society) and Commitment".

In his Keynote address Hon'ble Mr. Justice Madan B. Lokur, Acting Chief Justice, High Court of Delhi and Executive Chairman, Delhi Legal Services Authority informed the gathering that with the aid and assistance of the Hon'ble Judges of the High Court of Delhi who headed the Interview Boards, out of 931 applicants, further short-listed for interview, 197 advocates have been selected on the broad eligibility criteria that for Sessions cases an Advocates must have 10 years practice and for cases before Metropolitan Magistrates, Advocates must have 5 years of practice. His Lordship pointed out that in order to provide quality legal aid to litigants, it was felt appropriate that some orientation be conducted so that the panel lawyers would be aware of their duties and responsibilities.

His Lordship also told the empanelled lawyers that the Orientation Programme was to impress upon the legal aid lawyers to take their work seriously so that over a period of time the prejudice of some Judges that legal aid lawyers do not take their work seriously is dispelled and the Judges also realize that legal aid lawyers mean business.
In this programme, the Hon'ble Judges of the High Court of Delhi who headed the Interview Boards were felicitated and Hon'ble Mr. Justice Altamas Kabir, Judge Supreme Court of India and Executive Chairman, NALSA presented mementos to Hon'ble Ms. Justice Rekha Sharma, Hon'ble Mr. Justice S.N.

Lokur hold a smaller function at the Dwarka Courts on 29th April, 2010 for the lawyers empanelled for New Delhi, South and South West Districts. To these empanelled lawyers, His Lordship underlined the need for a very high degree of commitment and a change in mind set of the legal aid lawyers who should understand that even the legal aid beneficiaries were interested in their cases but factors such as financial or other disabilities prevented them from regularly following up the matter in the Courts. His Lordship requested panel lawyers to use their knowledge and professionalism sincerely to obtain results for the poor litigants. His Lordship stressed that having been empanelled as legal aid lawyers, they had to look upon their work as an extremely important job to be taken seriously.

On this occasion Hon'ble Mr. Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul, Judge High Court of Delhi also requested the empanelled lawyers to provide the best possible assistance to the poor litigants. His Lordship emphasized the need for interaction with the accused to know where the truth lay and to further assist the Court in the just determination of a case. His Lordship requested the legal aid lawyers to take the least number of dates and to ensure quick disposal of legal aid matters. His Lordship expected the legal aid lawyers to create a defence as good as or even better than the prosecution.
