The 50th Anniv. of Legal Aid System Issued on January 24, 2002 (Heisei 14)
Civil legal aid is the cost to a person who has poor financial resources and cannot pay the cost of requesting a legal expert such as a lawyer in case of legal trouble in a civil case. Is a system in which public institutions such as the national government provide or reimburse. In Japan, the Japan Legal Support Center (commonly known as Houterasu) operates based on the Comprehensive Legal Support Law. Stamps are issued in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the establishment of this system, and designed with "hands representing assistance".
