[uncountable]- money that is given by the government or another organization to somebody who needs help to pay for legal advice or a lawyer
法律援助(政府或某机构向需要帮助的人提供费用,使其能够寻求法律咨询或聘请律师) CultureLegal aid is only available to people whose income is below a certain level, and may not pay for all the expenses involved in a legal action. In Britain it is the responsibility of the Legal Aid Agency set up by the government in 2013. In the US, the Legal Services Corporation, an organization that was set up by Congress in 1974, gives financial support to local legal aid offices.
