如果我被别人或AG CHAMBER控告，那我该找谁呢？

惊人小中

通常我们收到律师信，或者被警方扣留而被告上法庭，除了自己找私人律师之外，请问是否有个机构是给生活环境困苦的人求助的。。。
请问是 Legal Aid Centres 吗？？还是什么？？

据我所知， 律师公会有legal aid scheme,而政府有legal aid bureau。

WHAT IS BAR COUNCIL LEGAL AID SCHEME ?
This Bar Council Legal Aid Scheme launched in 1983 is to provide legal aid to poor persons with legal problems by volunteer lawyers who are all members of the Bar. The scheme is currently fully financed by members of the Bar themselves who pay a levy of RM100 each per annum to the centrally operated Bar Council Legal Aid Fund.

Under the Scheme, Bar Council Legal Aid Centres are being set up to enable persons seeking legal aid to meet volunteer lawyers at a central point.

The scope of legal advice and assistance is given only in cases involving
Family matters - Custody of children, divorce, maintenance, matrimonial property, rights of inheritance
Industrial accidents
Employment
Housing and Tenancy matters
Detention
Consumer problems
Criminal matters

As the Scheme is meant only for the poor and needy, every person seeking legal aid is required to undergo a mandatory means test. To qualify for the assistance under the Scheme the applicant will be asked their income and their expenditure in order to ascertain their disposable income. Another criteria considered is their assets. Applicants who own assets of above a certain level may not qualify for legal aid. In addition to the mean test, certain applications may also be considered under the Merit Test.


WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE BAR COUNCIL LEGAL AID SCHEME AND THE GOVERNMENT LEGAL AID BUREAU ?

The main difference between Legal Aid provided by the Bar Council and Government Legal Aid Bureau, also known as BBG (Biro Bantuan Guaman) is that BBG is government-funded legal aid and their lawyers consist of salaried government officers and a panel of lawyers who may be assigned cases. These lawyers are paid certain assigned fees when litigants are assigned counsel from the Government panel of lawyers. This is in contrast for lawyers providing Legal Aid services to the clients of the BCLAC - these lawyers provide their services for free.
