ABSTRACT

The promulgation of the Legal Aid Act has made a breakthrough in the provision of legal aid in death penalty review proceedings, but it is not enough to improve the quantity of legal aid, for high-quality legal aid is the key. The purpose of this thesis is to discuss and evaluate the current situation and problems of the legal aid quality assurance system for death penalty review cases in China, and to put forward corresponding recommendations for improvement, so as to guarantee the right to apply for death penalty review of the accused and the right to defence of defence lawyers. In order to monitor the quality and effectiveness of legal aid for death penalty review cases, the Ministry of Justice could establish a mechanism for peer assessment of the quality of legal aid. Through the implementation of these improvement measures, the quality of legal aid will be enhanced and justice will be promoted.
