The judicial assistance institute rehearses its projection in the Cape Verde legal system through international instruments prior to the Constitution itself. It is the purpose of these reflections to examine this institute closely and to better understand the treatment accorded to it by both the national constitutional legislator and the ordinary ordinary legislator. The paper is divided into six parts: a first, reserved for the conceptual delimitation of the institute of legal aid, distinguishing it from other concepts and similar figures; the second part proposes to make a comparison between legal aid and human rights, seeking to demonstrate that judicial assistance is a human rights dimension; the third part is dedicated to legal aid in the Cape Verdean Constitution; the fourth relates to the infraconstitutional treatment of legal aid; the fifth part deals with the institutions involved in the promotion of legal aid and finally the sixth presents a reflection on the formal and material implementation of the legal aid institute in the national legal system.
