civil legal assistance

Civil legal assistance involves providing free or low-cost legal services to individuals who cannot afford to hire a lawyer, helping them resolve non-criminal issues such as housing disputes, family law, or consumer problems. It aims to ensure access to justice, uphold legal rights, and address inequalities by offering advice, representation, or guidance. This support is often offered through legal aid organizations, clinics, or government programs to ensure everyone has fair participation in legal matters affecting their everyday lives.
