2021: Launch IT system for free legal assistance
In early August 2021, the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation announced the creation of the Legal Aid IT system, designed to organize free legal assistance (BUP) to the population. It will be integrated with GIS, including the Unified Identification and Authentication System (ESIA).
The Legal Aid system will provide citizens with equal access to both the assistance itself and the legal information available for perception, which will lead to a significant increase in the number of citizens exercising their right to receive guaranteed qualified free legal assistance, the press service of the department reports.
She notes that by the beginning of August 2021, the regions have different approaches to informing and providing free legal assistance to citizens, and citizens do not have a single source of information about the BUP, and, in addition, they risk becoming a victim of fraudsters posing as participants in state or non-state free legal assistance systems.
Experiments on the provision of free legal assistance using electronic services. will be held from September 1, 2021 to December 31, 2023. At the first stage, the Republic of Tatarstan, Krasnodar Territory, Kemerovo, Irkutsk, Kursk, Moscow, Rostov, Smolensk, Tambov and Ulyanovsk regions will take part in it. In 2022, it is planned to connect all regions to the experiment.
The Ministry of Justice, together with the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as well as regional authorities, will be responsible for the project.
In July 2022, it is planned to conduct a preliminary assessment of the interim results of the experiment and submit to the government proposals for expanding the composition of participants, as well as a report on the need to amend the legislation of the Russian Federation and other regulatory legal acts that will scale the system throughout Russia.[1]
