What is the essential difference between legal aid and hiring a lawyer yourself?

1. Different applicability: legal aid only applies to specific groups and specific cases, and social lawyers apply to all groups and all cases.

2. Different characteristics: only natural persons can receive legal aid, but companies can't. Social lawyers can represent natural persons, companies and other organizations as civil legal subjects and criminal suspects/defendants/victims.

3. Different pertinence: legal aid is only for litigation cases, and social lawyers can extend their reach to the pre-litigation to avoid solving disputes through litigation.

4. Different personnel: legal aid is assigned only one trial level at a time (one trial level for labor arbitration, first trial, second trial, retrial and execution). If one test grade ends to produce the next test grade, it may not be assigned. Even if assigned, it is necessary to resubmit the application and reassign other lawyers, that is, a legal aid lawyer can only participate in some cases and cannot participate in the whole process. If the social lawyer does not terminate the entrustment voluntarily, he can always go to the enforcement stage, that is, until he gets the money.
