Basic Types of Legal Aid in Criminal Legal Proceedings

Abstract

The study of the features of legal assistance in the criminal process as a comprehensive legislative and scientific category allowed the Author to determine the classification grounds and distinguish four of its main types: legal assistance provided by state criminal justice bodies and their officials; qualified legal assistance provided by lawyers and legal advisers; legal assistance provided by close relatives or other persons who are participants in the criminal process; legal assistance provided by authorized persons who are not subjects of criminal proceedings.
