The Rajasthan State Legal Services Authority completed a 40-hour mediation training program for 28 former judges, strengthening institutional capacity for court-annexed dispute resolution in the state.
RSLSA organized the sessions to equip retired judicial officers with mediation skills applicable in pre-litigation and court-referred cases. Former judges bring adjudicative experience that can lend credibility to facilitated settlements.
India has promoted mediation as a means to reduce backlog and offer parties confidential, faster alternatives to trials. State legal services authorities play a frontline role in training mediators and operating mediation centers.
The graduation of 28 trained mediators adds to Rajasthan’s pool of professionals available for institutional mediation frameworks. Authorities expect the cohort to handle property, family, and commercial disputes referred through legal aid channels.
