The development dilemma and improvement path of Legal Aid Center in Colleges

Abstract

On January 1, 2022, the legal aid law of the people's Republic of China (hereinafter referred to as the legal aid law) was formally implemented. The promulgation and implementation of the legal aid law has further improved China's existing legal aid system, enhanced the status of China's legal aid system in the national legal system, expanded the subject scope of legal aid, and included legal aid volunteers of law students in Colleges and universities into the subject scope of legal aid. However, the legal aid volunteers of law students in Colleges and universities mainly rely on the legal aid center to form a legal aid association of colleges and universities with law students as the main body to engage in legal aid activities. The nature of the association and the composition of its members often lead to certain limitations in the development of legal aid associations, Taking the legal aid work of some university legal aid centers in Chengdu as an example, this paper analyzes the development difficulties of university legal aid centers, and puts forward the improvement path of the work of university legal aid centers in combination with the legal aid law.
