Legal aid does not charge recipients, and the government subsidizes the lawyers who actually handle the cases. Each city or county has a legal aid center, which is managed by the Bureau of Justice. If the legal aid conditions are met, the legal aid center will assign the case to a lawyer at the legal aid center or a lawyer from a law firm within the jurisdiction. Local residents with financial difficulties or criminal case defendants who should be assigned a defender (such as persons who may be sentenced to death and cannot afford to hire a lawyer to defend themselves, minors, etc.) can apply for legal aid from the Legal Aid Center.
Legal basis: "Article 56 of the new "Law on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of the Elderly" stipulates that if the elderly have been infringed upon their legitimate rights and interests and have real difficulty in filing a lawsuit and paying the litigation fees, they can be reduced, deferred or exempted. Pay legal fees and receive legal aid.
