Demand for Legal Aid as a Function of Individual and Contextual Factors. Econometric Analysis by Means of a Hierarchical Logit Model

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper to quantify micro- and meso-level risk factors affecting individual demand for legal aid in Poland. On the basis of a literature survey and information taken from regional databases a set of relevant explanatory variables has been established, whose structural parameters were estimated by means of a hierarchical log it model. The regressors contained both objective and subjective micro-level information – such as income, age, education, gender, marital status, place of residence, personal attitude towards law, knowledge of law, social capital, and social activity– as well as meso-level information from demographic and economic areas. It follows from the results obtained on a representative sample of adult Poles that the risk factors belong mainly to the micro-level group, whereas contextual factors are of minor importance.
