Lei de Assistência Judiciária

The Lei de Assistência Judiciária is a Brazilian law that ensures individuals with limited financial resources can access legal services without paying all costs upfront. It allows eligible people to receive free legal representation and court fees, such as filing costs and lawyer’s fees, making justice more accessible. The law aims to promote fairness by removing financial barriers, especially for those who cannot afford legal assistance, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to defend their rights and participate in legal proceedings regardless of their economic situation.
