Therefore, if lawyers want to handle legal aid cases, they can volunteer to their own law firms.
In addition, there are specialized legal aid lawyers, that is, full-time legal aid lawyers. In this case, you must first obtain a lawyer's practice license, and then apply to the local judicial authorities. After examination, you will become a full-time aid lawyer (because the number of full-time lawyers is limited, you need to go through certain examination procedures).
