Model Law on Legal Aid in Criminal Justice Systems with Commentaries
The Model Law is designed to address some of the challenges that lawmakers face in drafting legal aid legislation. In order to facilitate its adaptation to national legislation, the Model Law presents some of its provisions in the form of options. In addition, the Model Law is supplemented by the commentary, which serves to explain the legal basis for each provision and offers as much useful information as possible on each relevant issue. Similarly, each model provision is supplemented by comparative examples to present variants of legal aid legislation in different countries around the world.
