Sažetak
Access to justice is a core fundamental right and a central concept in the broader field of justice. The question of its efficient exercising through the legal aid system is one of the most important tasks of modern societies. While access to justice typically means having a case heard in a court of law, it can more broadly be achieved or supported through primary legal aid. In the last few years the issue of gaining the right to primary legal aid has become widely discussed and criticized in the Croatia. In this paper, we express the view that primary legal aid can encourage early resolution and discourage unnecessary litigation while enabling access to effective protection of citizens’ civil rights at the same time.
