The two speakers emphasized the importance of legal aid in protecting the lawful rights and interests of citizens, including the poor, people with meritorious services to the revolution, and those facing financial difficulties in the locality—especially following the process of merging wards and communes. After the merger, the population of each ward/commune increased, requiring association branch officials and grassroots officers to make greater efforts in disseminating information and providing guidance on legal aid so that citizens can access and benefit from legal aid services when encountering legal difficulties.

With a learner-centered teaching approach, the speakers provided an overview of legal aid policies and laws, helping participants understand and identify the scope, forms, and areas of legal aid, as well as recognize those eligible for free legal aid services. In particular, they focused on developing participants’ skills in guiding and explaining the right to legal aid, and their responsibility to inform and refer legal aid beneficiaries to the State Legal Aid Center of Quang Tri Province.
The delegates actively engaged in open, frank, and democratic discussions, creating an open forum where grassroots officials and reputable community members could learn together, enhance their understanding of legal aid, and improve their communication and referral skills regarding legal aid services for the people. This was also an opportunity to further disseminate legal aid knowledge widely among the local population.
