What is legal aid?
Legal aid refers to a legal guarantee system that legal aid agencies set up by the government organize legal aid lawyers to provide free legal services for people with financial difficulties or special cases. A special case refers to a case in which the criminal suspect or defendant is a mental patient who is blind, deaf, dumb or has not completely lost the ability to identify or control his own behavior, and has not entrusted a defender in accordance with the provisions of the second and third paragraphs of Article 35 of the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC). People's courts, people's procuratorates and public security organs shall notify legal aid institutions to appoint lawyers to defend them.
