1. What's the difference between legal aid and lawyers?
The differences between legal aid and lawyers are as follows:
1. Different applicability: legal aid only applies to specific groups and specific cases, and lawyers apply to all groups and all cases.
2. Different characteristics: only natural persons can get legal aid, but companies can't. Lawyers can represent natural persons, companies and other organizations as civil legal subjects and criminal suspects, defendants and victims.
3. Different pertinence: legal aid is only for litigation cases, and lawyers can extend their tentacles before litigation to avoid solving disputes through litigation.
4. Different personnel: legal aid is only allocated to the first-instance level at a time. If a trial level ends and becomes the next trial level, 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 lawyer does not terminate the entrustment voluntarily, he can always go to the enforcement stage, that is, until he gets the money.
Two, what are the obligations and responsibilities of legal aid recipients?
The obligations and responsibilities of legal aid recipients include: observing the legal provisions and cooperating with legal aid contractors in accordance with the legal aid agreement; The recipient shall pay a service fee to the legal aid institution when he obtains significant benefits from solving a case or matter requiring assistance. For the recipient who obtained legal aid by deception, the legal aid institution shall revoke his qualification for assistance and order him to pay the full cost of the services he received.
