2. OUR ACTIVITIES:
Legal Counselling
Our staff attorneys provide citizens
with free legal consultations at public drop-in centers in Yekaterinburg and
Sverdlovsk oblast, as well as over the telephone and by mail. This year we had
to reduce the number of drop-in centers. Despite the reduction of the centers,
in 2004, our attorneys provided 1,814 consultations, of which 731 were over the
telephone, 810 were in person and included assistance with the preparation of
legal documents, and 273 by post. In 2004, Sutyajnik launched legal counseling
over the Internet.
Topics covered in our consultations
included the following:
1) ñomplaints, including eligibility,
to the European Court of Human Rights and the UN Committee on Human Rights — 32
%;
2) civil procedure — 26 %;
3) labour law — 19 %;
4) civil law — 9 %;
5) housing law — 4 %;
6) tax law — 1 %;
7) administrative law — 5 %;
8) family law — 4 %. |
