LINKS  TO  WEBSITES  ABOUT  OTHER  NATION'S  LEGAL  AID  PROGRAMS

In addition to the national legal aid programs featured in this website, scores of other nations have created their own websites describing the legal aid programs available in those countries.  The compilation of websites below is based largely on a list compiled by Pinetree Legal Services.  Members of the International Legal Aid Committee of the The National Equal Justice Library have evaluated these sites and placed them in three broad categories.  

Category A lists websites presenting comprehensive information about the particular nation's legal aid system, including detailed descriptions of program design and operations, financial data, statistics, and often downloadable reports and publications.  

Category B lists websites providing only general information usually aimed at potential clients and sometimes private lawyers who supply services through the program. Thus, they are only marginally useful to researchers, policymakers, legal aid administrators, and students from other countries who are interested in accessing the website to learn about a particular nation's legal aid program. [As an illustration of a typical Category B website, we have included the website for France immediately below the list of websites.] 

Category C lists websites that only furnish program addresses and other contact information.
