Abstract

Free legal assistance is set as an assistance right whose conditions to obtain it are legally established. There is a close link between the right to a free legal assistance and the right to an effective judicial protection, for which the former is instrumental. Thus, this is a citizen right to obtain assistance provided by the state which, sensu contrario, creates an obligation to the state to properly fund the provision of this right using public funds. We shall address the current funding system for the professional appointed to the corresponding association services for the provision of this service (focusing on attorneys and solicitors of the courts), along with its adaptation to the constitutional funding mandate using public funds.
