摘要：Free legal aid is a method used to facilitate access to the courts and other state bodies which make decisions about the rights and obligations of Croatian citizens and foreigners in a way that expenses are fully or partially covered by the Republic of Croatia taking into account their material and other circumstances according to which it would be impossible to fulfil the right without jeopardizing themselves and support of dependents living in the same household. The right to free legal aid in the Republic of Croatia has been guaranteed by the Constitution of the Republic of Croatia, provisions of certain laws, for example the Criminal Procedural Law, Law on Civil Procedure, Law on Conflicts of Law, Law on the Legal Profession, Law on Court Fees, Law on Asylum and the new Law on Free Legal Aid as well as of numerous implementing sub-law regulations. Due to the limited size of the article and presentation time, the author has critically considered just a few legal regulations which govern a free legal aid system in the Republic of Croatia (Law on Civil Procedure, Law on the Legal Profession and Law on Free Legal Aid), that is, just a few aspects of free legal aid providing (notion and subject-matter of legal aid, types and extent of legal aid, legal aid users and providers).
