In Romania, individuals unable to afford legal representation can access state-funded legal aid. The Constitutional Court upheld the requirement for income verification and documentation, affirming that these conditions do not violate the right to justice. The eligibility criteria are based on income thresholds related to the national minimum wage, with specific amounts determining the level of financial support available. Legal aid can cover attorney fees, expert costs, and court fees for various civil matters. Applications for assistance must be submitted to the relevant court, and if denied, can be reexamined. The ruling clarifies that access to justice does not equate to free legal services for all.
