The Efficiency and the Effectiveness of Legal Aid Schemes in the Areas of Civil and Administrative Law by Council of Europe Pdf

Access to justice is a vital element in the democratic process and one of the basic principles of the rule of law. Access to legal aid - the provision of legal advice, assistance and/or representation at either no cost or subject to a financial contribution - is crucial to ensure access to justice.The guidelines on the efficiency and the effectiveness of legal aid schemes in the areas of civil and administrative law were adopted by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe on 31 March 2021.The guidelines take into account existing international, European and national standards relating to legal aid, and are built on the expertise of the European Committee on Legal Co-operation (CDCJ) in legal aid policy and practice. They are designed to serve as a practical guide to support the implementation of existing standards, without necessarily changing organisational frameworks in place, in order to strengthen national legal aid schemes in the areas of civil and administrative law.The guidelines include generic solutions on issues such as early intervention with the help of legal aid systems (preliminary legal aid), quality assurance mechanisms in legal aid schemes, means and merits testing, organisation of legal aid system and availability of legal aid providers, and data collection. Further guidance is available in the accompanying explanatory memorandum of the guidelines.This publication is aimed at decision-makers and practitioners working to develop and improve the functioning of legal aid schemes at national level. It also aims to support member States' efforts towards the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development vision of a "just, equitable, tolerant, open and socially inclusive world in which the needs of the most vulnerable are met", and notably SDG 16.3's promises to ensure equal access to justice for all

Civil Procedure and EU Law by Eva Storskrubb Pdf

The regulation of cross border civil and commercial litigation is a burgeoning EU policy area. Legislative measures and other initiatives now provide a framework for the regulation of cross border service of documents, obtaining evidence, establishing jurisdiction and enforcement of judgments, enforcement orders, legal aid, alternative dispute resolution, payment orders, and small claims. In addition, overarching measures have been enacted including the creation of a judicial network and judicial training structures. This book offers the first detailed analysis of the EU's activity in procedural harmonization, spanning civil procedure, private international law and European law. The book situates the development of the policy area and its regulation in relation to broader themes of the European integration process: market building, citizenship, fundamental rights, subsidiarity and governance. It provides a detailed analysis of the legislative measures and assesses their impact on fundamental principles of civil justice, including due process rights. The case-law in the area is also analysed, including the introduction of the principle of mutual recognition. The book concludes with a comparative analysis of the EU's approach with broader international efforts for procedural harmonization.

Legal aid in crisis by Moore, Sarah,Newbury, Alex Pdf

Originally introduced as a form of social welfare with near-universal eligibility, legal aid in the UK is now framed as a benefit external to the legal system and understood in primarily economic terms. This book is the first to evaluate the recent reforms of UK legal aid from a social policy perspective and assess their impact on family law courts and advocacy. Written by experts in the field, it focuses on the rise in people representing their own legal case and argues that the reforms effectively ‘delawyerise’ disputes, producing a more inquisitorial justice system and impacting the litigants, court system, staff and process. Arguing for a more holistic concept of the reforms, the book will be of relevance to students, academics, policy-makers, judges, campaigners and social workers, not just in England and Wales, but in other jurisdictions instituting cuts to their legal aid budgets, such as Australia, Scotland, France, and the Netherlands.
