Abstract:
Legal Aid is a social instrument founded in order to provide accessibility to courts for those characterized by their social and economic weakness. As such, it aims to empower individuals and groups who cannot meet the expense of private attorneys’ rates, and hence needs a social mechanism in order to participate in the legal arena. Legal Aid, therefore, is an opportunity to provide a voice for those who cannot afford to raise it, a prospect to enhance the poor’s involvement in constructing our political and cultural values, an occasion for equal attendance. The article wishes to analyze Legal Aid services in Israel. In order to do that thoroughly, it will examine and evaluate the Israeli system – regarding its historical and analytical roots and principles – in comparison to and with other Legal Aid systems in the western world. In that way, the article will methodically study the Israeli mechanism in accordance with the changing and evolving welfare system in the last decades. This prism will also direct the article to its final chapter, where suggestions to correct the current Israeli paradigm will be made.
