How to seek legal help from the media

You can go directly to the legal aid office of the local judicial bureau for legal aid. Looking for the media is also a last resort. I suggest you seek legal aid directly and don't take detours.

Today is an era of rapid development of the Internet from the media. No matter what kind of things in life, if they can be publicized through the media, their influence is very great. Therefore, in social life, if some special people can't fight for their legal rights after being treated illegally, they can also seek help through the media. The following small series will introduce you, how should media legal aid ask for help?

First, how should media legal aid seek help?

Legal aid is to apply for legal aid according to law, and seeking help from the media requires public opinion to intervene. The two are not the same thing, the way and the result are different. The only way to ask public opinion to intervene is to contact relevant media, such as legal reporting, news night flight, etc.

Second, the object and conditions of legal aid

According to the relevant regulations, the object of legal aid in China is China citizens and foreign citizens who meet certain conditions, that is, the parties to economic difficulties and special cases. The conditions of legal aid can be divided into general conditions and special conditions.

Fourth, how to apply?

When the people's court appoints defense and criminal legal aid cases, it shall notify the legal aid institution, which shall be responsible for appointing defense lawyers for criminal defendants. Legal aid for criminal litigation cases and other litigation cases without designated defense shall be applied by the applicant to the legal aid institution with jurisdiction in our hospital. For other non-litigation legal affairs, the applicant shall apply to the legal aid institution where his domicile or work unit is located. The application shall be made in writing, and the following materials shall be submitted:

(1) ID card, household registration certificate or temporary residence permit;

If the applicant is a minor or a person without civil capacity, his guardian shall apply for it on his behalf. On behalf of the applicant, the agency qualification certificate shall be submitted.

What should I do if I am not satisfied with the decision not to give legal aid?

Except for criminal legal aid cases designated by the people's court, legal aid institutions shall conduct an examination within 20 days from the date of receiving the application for legal aid from the parties concerned. Upon examination, if it is found that it does not meet the conditions for legal aid, it shall make a decision not to grant aid and notify the applicant. If the applicant disagrees with the decision not to grant aid, he may request the legal aid institution to reconsider.

First of all, China citizens must know that legal aid and media legal aid are two different things. In life, as long as everyone applies for legal aid, it is allowed to provide legal aid to the parties under certain conditions. It is also possible for the parties to ask public opinion to intervene through the media. After all, the higher the media attention, the better for the injured party.
