A number of studies in our review found that it may take more time, resources and skills to effectively reach and support these clients, particularly if the service is aimed at helping clients with a number of their legal problems. However, there is also evidence that much of the additional public relations costs are related to the overhead or “fixed” costs of public relations rather than the duration of the consultations themselves. Nevertheless, it is these additional fixed costs – for planning and implementation, administration and coordination of the service, continued cooperation with host agencies and other services, and ongoing training and supervision of legal advisers – that are necessary for the proper functioning of outreach services. Services also appear to work more efficiently with access to appropriate technologies such as access to telephones, the Internet and electronic filing systems. This section contains conclusions and observations from the analysis and integration of the information contained in the “Results” section. The information in this section is organized according to the research questions (listed in the terms of reference of this study) that can be addressed by the methodology used for this component of the research. To what extent has the program made progress in increasing the capacity of provinces and territories and their mutual legal assistance plans to provide legal aid in areas receiving federal funding? In Denmark, applicants must meet the following criteria to obtain legal aid in civil matters: The applicant must not exceed kr. 289,000 ($50,000) per year and the party`s claims must appear reasonable. In criminal cases, the convicted person only has to pay the costs if he or she has a large fixed income – in order to avoid a relapse. [13] Section 39A of the Indian Constitution provides for equal justice and free legal aid: In July 2004, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that the lack of legal aid in defamation cases, as was the case under the Legal Aid Act 1988 in force at the time of the McLibel case, could violate the rights of an accused. The Access to Justice Act 1999 contains exceptional funding provisions allowing the Lord Chancellor to authorise the funding of legal aid in cases which otherwise fall outside the scope of the legal aid scheme. A defendant in a similar situation to the McLibel defendant could potentially obtain legal aid if the application met the exceptional funding criteria.

Prior to the mid-20th century, the legal aid literature focused on the collective implementation of economic, social and cultural rights. When classical welfare states were established in the 1940s and after World War II, a basic principle was that citizens had a collective responsibility for economic, social and cultural rights; And the state took responsibility for those who, due to illness and unemployment, were unable to support themselves. The implementation of economic, social and cultural rights should be done collectively, through politics and not through individual legal action. Laws were enacted to support social benefits, although they were seen as laws for planners rather than lawyers. Legal aid programmes were set up because it was assumed that the state had a responsibility to assist those involved in litigation, but they initially focused mainly on family law and divorce. [1] The is considering how best to align PWG`s activities with its mandate and facilitate coordination, cooperation and information exchange on operational and policy issues related to legal aid. Services are planned and implemented in consultation with other legal and non-legal departments that support the target group and/or the target group itself. This is important to ensure that the Service fills a gap in the Services and to develop seamless remittance channels to and from Outreach Services. He also stressed the importance of maintaining continuous formal and informal communication with each host agency and other networks.

“Equality before the law in a true democracy is a matter of law. It cannot be a matter of charity or favor, grace or discretion. Wiley Rutledge (US. SC) Legal awareness, sometimes referred to as public legal education, is the empowerment of individuals in relation to legal issues. It contributes to raising awareness of legal culture, participation is legal education and the rule of law.
