This system is used by residents who do not earn enough to help them pay their legal costs. The court must examine the resources of the person requesting it before granting this assistance. Individuals do not receive the money, but it directly finances the costs. To guarantee access to justice, the government monitors award deadlines. In Seine-et-Marne, 82.3% of legal aid decisions were taken in less than five days according to the latest official figures. This is more than the objective of 65% set by the State.
