Some problems of exercising the right to free legal aid

Russia is proclaimed by the Constitution to be a state governed by the rule of law, therefore it is necessary to raise the level of legal awareness of citizens and follow the path of simplifying the system for citizens to receive free legal aid. Poor and socially vulnerable citizens should receive legal aid free of charge. Today, the regulatory framework is insufficient to provide high-quality free legal aid to the public. Technical and organizational issues at the legal level have not yet been resolved. It is fundamentally important to change the legislation in the direction of providing every citizen, regardless of their place of residence or other circumstances, with the opportunity to receive "primary" legal assistance on any legal issues free of charge.
