| Summary: | This report estimates the combined costs
of providing primary and secondary free legal Aid (FLA)
services in Serbia. Most estimates are for the combined
costs of what has traditionally been considered secondary
legal aid services, that is, for the total costs of legal
advice, petition and representation for cases that reach the
court docket. Separate aggregate estimates are also made for
volume and costs for the traditional form of primary legal
aid, as well as for its expanded definition (inclusive of
drafting legal documents and motions). Still, the body of
these cost estimates focus on the combined cost of primary
(in its expanded form) and secondary legal aid, minus the
cost of initial consultation and screening (the previous
definition of primary legal aid). Due to the constitutional
assignment of legal aid functions to Municipal Governments,
to the degree possible, this report attempts to estimate
legal aid case demands and case costs down to the municipal
level as well as court levels. However, aggregate estimates
are likely to be more accurate than individual municipal estimates. |
