The reconciliation of disputes is done by the members of the committee, which
includes lawyers and social workers. The judicial officers should not take active part in
reconciliation of disputes but there is no objection to their otherwise taking part under the
guidance of the District Judge and in advising and guiding suitably the members of the
committee in the performance of their functions. The judicial officers who have original
territorial jurisdiction in the area where a camp is held should not be associated with the
camp activities and assistance may be had from other judicial officers.

An officer of the rank of Munsif-Magistrate/Judicial Magistrate or Chief Judicial
Magistrate to be nominated by the District Judge is supposed to be the member-secretary
of the District Legal Aid Committee. His functions are mainly of administrative nature
and he too need not come in direct touch with litigants much less in the matter of
reconciliation of disputes.

The District Judges may make available a room or other improvised
accommodation in their buildings for establishing a legal aid office where certain
members of the committee and the staff of the legal aid office may sit and transact their
business.
