作为以向贫困和弱势这一特定的社会群体,提供无偿法律服务为主要内容的法律援助制度,从产生至今已有500余年的历史。当今世界大多数国家均相继通过立法予以确立。我国的法律援助事业虽然起步晚,但发展十分迅速。在整个法律援助制度中,刑事法律援助处于核心地位。我国的刑事法律援助事业虽经历了十余年的迅猛发展,但与发达国家已成熟的制度相比,还有较大的差距。我国现行刑事法律援助制度存在的问题包括立法不健全、援助对象明宽实窄、法律援助人员介入时间过迟、经费单薄等等。由于我国刑事法律援助制度的不完善,在一定程度上制约了我国刑事诉讼制度的发展。本文通过解析刑事法律援助的概念,分析我国法律援助制度的缺陷和原因,并借鉴英国的经验,从而提出完善我国刑事法律援助的具体措施。
