The draft law establishing free legal protection in court of the labor rights of privileged categories of citizens was adopted in the first reading in the State Duma. This was reported by the press service of the lower house of parliament.

If the law is passed, the changes will affect the bureaus and lawyers who are members of the state system of free legal aid. They will not only advise citizens on their labor rights for free, make statements for them, but also protect their interests in courts, state and municipal bodies in case of violation of their labor rights.

The right to free legal protection will be given to: low-income citizens (with incomes below the subsistence level), large families, WWII veterans, members of their families, disabled people of groups I and II, orphans, their caregivers and adoptive parents, incapacitated citizens and their caregivers, as well as emergency victims and their close relatives. Additional cases may be regulated by regional laws.
