Free Legal Services

The word "Justice" is associated with the term fairness and it would be ironical

if we our legal systems were to fail in providing free legal services to the poor people. We all know that the services of professional lawyers and attorneys are expensive; irrespective of this fact, it would be incorrect if the common people lost out on getting justice just because they are poor. The whole purpose of having a judiciary system gets negated if we do not have provisions for the poor people to get justice in their proceedings.

Some people feel that providing free legal services to poor people who put an extra financial burden on the Govt. And therefore despise the need for free legal service for the poor people. There are surely going to be a whole lot of budgetary complications however this is no excuse for the Govt. to back off and just watch this injustice being undergone by the poor people.

When people try to evade their income tax payments, none of the IRS employees would step back and say ok fine you can get away with not paying taxes. Everyone would be vigilant and would try to make each citizen pay their taxes however when it comes to providing legal services not many of us bother to even think about what the poor people must be going through when they are deprived justice just because they are poor.

What would do you think would be the repercussion of being deprived justice? Let's take an example of a man who has a piece of land which is his source of income since he is a farmer. Now if someone encroaches this man's land, don't you not think that he deserves to complain about this in the court of law? To be able to get justice this poor farmer, who is already in a problem, would need legal assistance which is very expensive. Now is it ethically correct for all of us as citizens of a country to sit and watch a fellow citizen getting deprived of justice because he is poor?

Each and every one of us is a mature adult and can surely devise a plan to help these individuals in getting justice as and when needed. Firstly we need to be realistic. The whole population of the country which is poor is not going to need legal assistance every time. A very few people out of this poor segment of citizens would need legal assistance in their entire life cycle.

Let's think like this, don't countries across the nation finance their satellites and military equipment and also the spacecrafts? These projects are massive and involve billions of dollars. So when the Govt. is capable of funding these massive projects then why not focus a little on providing legal services to the poor citizen. To be very honest, it is all about the willingness of the people of our country. We can only wish that some powerful and caring people raise this issue with and give it a successful end which will make justice accessible for all.
