Poor in China to get free legal aid Analysts hail the government's move but fear that there will be funding and manpower problems By David Hsieh BEIJING - China's first guarantee of legal aid for the underprivileged is being hailed as a milestone in the protection of civil and human rights in the country. WHO WILL BENEFIT? • Migrant workers and city dwellers who live below the poverty line, and their destitute accusers, will enjoy free help from court- appointed lawyers or willing private ones. • Exceptions include civil suits over such issues as state compensation, social security payments, elderly and child support and alimony, and defendants in criminal cases From Sept 1, new regulations place the responsibility for providing legal aid services squarely on the shoulders of the government. Yet, analysts worry that shortages of funds and competent public defence attorneys could force the government to shift most of the burden to private law firms. The regulations aim to help underprivileged and handicapped people who either do not seek or cannot afford lawyers. straitstimes.asia1.com.sg
