On February 25, 2019, the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Finance jointly issued the Guiding Opinions on Improving the Subsidy Standards for Legal Aid.

According to the Opinions, legal aid subsidies refer to expenses paid by legal aid institutions to employers of such persons in charge of providing legal aid as social lawyers, basic legal service workers, and staff members of social organizations.

The Opinions clarify the accounting methods for legal aid subsidy standards, including direct costs, basic labor costs and other factors, and stipulate the accounting methods of subsidy standards for three statutory legal aid services of case handling, legal aid from on-duty lawyers and legal consultation. In addition, the Opinions emphasize the establishment and improvement of mechanisms for dynamic adjustment and differential subsidies.
