Henan Law Firms to Staff 1,000 Legal Aid Stations Once a Month

河南设立1000个“律师进乡村进社区”法律咨询服务站点

Xinhua News, 2009-04-10

Beginning in April, lawyers from over 600 law firms throughout Henan will offer free legal consultations and spread legal knowledge on the first Sunday of every month at 1,000 legal aid stations as part of the province's “lawyers entering villages and neighborhoods” campaign. The lawyers' participation will “strengthen their sense of social responsibility and initiative,”says a local official. The provincial Ministry of Justice Office is also planning partly to base its yearly evaluations and reviews of law firms on their participation and performance in the monthly clinics.
