Working Party on the Institution of Legal Aid
The Working Party chaired by Mr Ruy Barretto commenced work in September 2003. With the assistance of the Administration Wing of the Chief Secretary for Administration's Office and the Legal Aid Department, it obtained and studied documents relating to the establishment and development of the system for the provision of legal aid, and the debates on the provision of legal aid.
The final draft of the document, entitled "Legal Aid in Hong Kong", was approved by Council at its meeting in March 2006. It was anticipated that the book would be released by July 2006.
Council believes that the book "Legal Aid in Hong Kong" will be a useful reference to policy makers, practitioners and those who are concerned about the development and relevance of legal aid in our society.
