China's Ministry of Justice says that it will further enhance its legal aid efforts to better protect the interest of underprivileged people in China.
To this end, MOJ has decided to carry out a themed initiative between June 2009 and June 2010 to assist the underprivileged.
MOJ says it will launch ten measures during the period, which include enlarging the coverage of legal aid, building and improving legal aid service counters, expanding legal aid application channels, providing legal aid reception and inquiry services, simplifying legal aid application review procedures, providing a convenient way for people to apply for legal aid from a different place, setting up a legal aid recipient contact and acknowledgement system, selecting a service pattern acceptable to the legal aid recipient, improving legal aid service quality, and accepting oversight from legal aid recipients and the public.
