Małopolsko-śląska akcja pomocy w wypełnianiu tzw. PIT-ów jako przykład przedsądowej i quasi-przedsądowej pomocy prawnej w obliczu reformy wymiaru sprawiedliwości
The Malopolska-Silesian Campaign of Legal Aid in Personal Income Tax Returns Completing as an Example of Pre-trial and Quasi-pre-trial Legal Aid in the Face of Judicial Reform

Summary/Abstract: The Polish judicial system, and thus also the justice system, should be reformed, asis overloaded with the number of considered cases. However this reform can be possible only thank to the cooperation of various environments and work at the grass roots (within the broadly understood justice system). The reform should lead to a situation, where as many cases and disputes as possible could be solved outside the courtroom. Therefore, the reform should focus on facilitating such solutions as: alternative dispute resolution methods, the methods of pre-court selection of cases and legal education. All the mentioned solutions reflect the principle of the Hippocratic oath which states, that “prevention is better than cure”. The Malopolska-Silesian campaign offering help in filling out the personal income tax return forms is one of few examples of cooperation between a law clinic and a free legal aid society, i.e. two entities co creating the justice system and supporting social groups that cannot aff ord to use legal services. Therefore, such projects should be broadly discussed, modified and widely promoted.
