Abstract

The concept of legal aid deserves to be addressed within the agenda of legislators in the current era, given that the concept promotes social justice, especially with regard to vulnerable groups, especially in light of the high attorney fees, and thus their right to equal access to judicial justice is threatened. Legal aid is a significant means of access to justice, as it is a basic embodiment of two major principles in constitutional life, namely, the rule of law and the principle of equality and non-discrimination within all societies.


In our research, we reached to connect between legal aid and social justice, as we see in theory the legal consensus on the importance of establishing social justice, but in reality, we appear to be facing a gap represented in the absence of the concept of the poor and vulnerable classes.
