Cooperation of the Central Government, Local Government and Self-Government of Legal Professionals in Organising the System of Legal Aid in Poland

A deliberately organised system of legal aid financed by the State was introduced in Poland under the Act of 5.8.2015 and is based on the cooperation between local government units and legal professional self-government, under supervision by the bodies of public government which finance this task. The legislature uses for this purpose the solutions that are already known in administrative law, i.e. contract for the performance of a public task, grant for the performance thereof, agreement between local government units and bodies of legal professional self-government organizations, agreements with third parties providing a public service.
