Individuals with low incomes can access legal assistance funded by public resources without needing a court case, known as extrajudicial assistance. This support, regulated by emergency ordinance, is underutilized and not widely known. It includes legal consultations, document preparation, and representation before public authorities. Despite being a legal right, only a small percentage of available funds are allocated to this type of assistance, with significant regional disparities in its usage. Lack of information is a major barrier for potential beneficiaries, highlighting the need for better public awareness and organization by bar associations.
