为了社会的公平与正义——法律援助实践之探索

法律援助作为人权保障的一项基本制度已为世界上许多国家和地区所采纳。我国也不例外 ,在《刑事诉讼法》、《民事诉讼法》、《民法通则》、《律师法》等法律中明确规定了法律援助制度。由于我国国情所决定 ,现有的社会资源难以支撑法律援助的实际需求。为了进一步推动我国法律援助事业的深入发展 ,法律援助资源亟待开发。全国首家民间法律援助机构———武汉大学社会弱者保护中心自 1 992年成立以来 ,依法为社会弱势群体提供义务法律服务 ,不仅取得了良好的社会效益 ,而且在法律援助服务对象、运作模式等方面作出了有益的探索

For Justice and Righteousness of Society

As an essential institution in order to protect the human rights, the legal assistance system has been accepted by many countries and regions. As in the same way, in China, the system of legal assistance has been definitely stipulated in Law of Criminal Procedure, Law of Civil Procedure, Lawyer Code and Civil Code. According to the situation in China, the existing social resources cannot meet the actual demand of legal assistance. It is an inevitable requirement for the promotion of the career of legal assistance in China to explore for the pattern of operating a voluntary legal assistance organization. The first voluntary legal assistance organization - Center for the Protection of the Rights of Disadvantaged People of Wuhan University, has offered free legal service for disadvantaged people for more than 10 years. It has not only benefited the society, but also helped the exploration on the objects, operating pattern and etc. of the legal assistance.
