Research On The Responsibilities Of The Subjects Of China’s Legal Aid System

The legal aid system that provides pro bono legal services to the economically disadvantaged has a history of more than 500 years(1495)since its inception,which contains ethical,political,legal and other pluralistic values,and plays an active role in achieving judicial equality,protecting human rights and improving the social security system.China’s legal aid system has lasted for many years of preparation and efforts,from the formulation of the "Legal Aid Regulations" to the promulgation and implementation of the "Legal Aid Law",marking the formal establishment of a socialist legal aid system with Chinese characteristics.China’s legal aid system embodies the generalization of state responsibility,the specificity of government duties,the guarantee of public security and justice,the obligation to appoint lawyers and the assistance of social participation,but at present,there are still many dilemmas such as unclear guarantee duties of government agencies,unreasonable standards for economic difficulties,imperfect funding guarantee system,incomplete service quality guarantees,conflicts between entrusted defense and assigned defenses,poor connection with judicial aid,multiple obstacles to lawyers’ obligations,and insufficient socialization of legal aid.The only way to get rid of these difficulties is that we must comprehensively observe and clarify the main responsibilities of all parties in legal aid from the perspective of the implementation of the Legal Aid Law,which is necessary for reconstructing a more mature Chinese legal aid system.
