Recommendations for the european legal aid system

Abstract

Creation of the European Legal Aid System is a long term perspective. Many legal, political, economic, social issues should be discussed and taken into account. We should not forget about existing activities in the third sector (voluntary sector), citizens advice systems, social advice service supplementing public service in many countries, legal pro bono programs,activities of legal clinics in some EU countries. All of these initiatives should be the basis for the creation of a coherent system of legal aid.
