The focal point of the Phare project “Assistance to set up an efficient
legal aid system” is to assist in the design and development of a new
public policy on legal aid in Romania. This will lead to a consistent method of
dealing with all types of legal aid including deciding who is eligible
for aid, on establishing a standard of quality expected from the legal
personnel involved in each case.
The overall objective of the project is improving the administration of
and access to justice, while the specific objectives are the improvement
of the legal and institutional framework on legal aid and the
improvement of the level of awareness among diverse categories of
population.
Throughout the project, the following results are to be achieved:
• Legislative and institutional assessment
• 5 workshops for judges, prosecutors, lawyers, bailiffs, National Agency for the Protection of Family,
and Ombudsman personnel in order to identify alternative proposals for ensuring an effective quality legal aid
for persons in need based on the models existing in EU Member States and in EU regulations and also to identify
the training needs and proposals for ensuring continuing education of legal rights. The first round of workshops
took place in Bucharest, Iasi and Cluj, over three days (11-13 June), while the final round were organised in the
same three cities on 6th July.
• Feasibility study on the socio-economic, financial, institutional and
statistic impact that can be brought by the adoption of new law
provisions regarding the free legal aid
• Pilot court programme (Court of Justice District 2) in which the legal aid related activities
are provided to citizens – legal aid level 1 (which consists in pre-trial, legal counselling).
The pilot court programme had been running since 28th May 2007, and concluded on 22nd February 2008.
