Legal aid: finally an agreement 

0

A memorandum of understanding relating to the reform of legal aid was finally signed last Wednesday between the Chancellery and the representatives of the lawyers. The National Bar Council (CNB) called for the strike to end after three weeks of mobilization against the project. To finance the reform, the Minister of Justice Christiane Taubira announced an increase in the remuneration of lawyers participating in legal aid. Their remuneration had not been reassessed since 2007. The unit of value (UV) will increase on average by 12,6%, said the Ministry of Justice.
