Amendment to the Act on Free Legal Aid, Free Civic Counseling and Legal Education of 5 August 2025. A Critical Analysis

Summary/Abstract: The amendment to the Act of 5 August 2015 on free legal aid, adopted on 5 August 2025, introduces broader possibilities for providing services through means of remote communication and sets the maximum limit of state budget expenditures for the implementation of the Act in the years 2026–2035. The article presents an analysis of the introduced changes and raises legislative concerns regarding the adopted act. The amendment does not resolve key problems related to the functioning of the system, such as its inefficiency. A system originally intended to support low-income individuals is becoming increasingly open and underfunded, while the asset declarations submitted by its beneficiaries are largely illusory. The costs of implementing remote service tools were shifted onto aid providers, districts, and non-governmental organizations. The study applies the formal-dogmatic method and the historical-legal method.
